(B) the best known is Martin Luther
(C) the better known of them was Martin Luther
(D) Martin Luther is better known
(E) the best known one was Martin Luther
Better is used to compare TWO THINGS.
Best is used to compare MORE THAN TWO THINGS. Since this SC is comparing the PEOPLE who brought about the reformation,
better (in C and D) is incorrect. Eliminate C and D.
In A,
of them is redundant with
of the people. Eliminate A.
In E,
was implies that Martin Luther no longer is the best known. The intended meaning of the sentence is that Martin Luther IS the best known. Eliminate E.
The correct answer is
B.
