Are both in the parentheses in the following sentences correct?
--- the following -----
1 Who will like your goal (most/best)?
2 Which do you (most/best), apple, grape, or pear? |

In your examples, they are pretty much interchangeable.
Most (adverb) = to the greatest extent, extremely, very.
Best (adverb) = to the highest degree, most; to the highest standard or level attainable.
Which do you like best? is what you intended, no doubt? |
