(A) John agreed that the first one was the best of the two
(B) John agreed that the first was the best of the two
(C) John agreed that the first one was the better of the two
(D) John agreed that of the two the better one was the first
(E) John agreed that the best of the two was the first
Source: Barrons Use comparitive i.e. better. In d, that introduces a clause with a preposition. So I feel its incorrect. +1C

This one has me puzzled It's clearly only between C&D (as Marcab says - it's a comparative) but I don't really like the OA (D) at all, it 'just sounds wrong', that said I'm not overly comfortable with C either. Could we have the OE?

Could you please mention the source and also provide the OE on this. The answer should be C instead of D. I am totally confused here.
