Thanks a lot, teacher.

So is the article optional or wrong, because I have seen some that include it and others don't?

Also, would the same apple if I used the word 'must' instated of 'best'?

Sorry for the confusion teacher.

I understood that the article is not required, but is it optional?

Also, I meant to say 'most', not 'must'. Would it be possible and does the same apply?

What is this? It defines the word ‘optional’?

Did you mean to show me that the article is optional?
