Hi Daniel, I think the two sentences are different in meaning. " Naurally the meaning becomes 'very mad' here. The other one in "what makes me get mad most is" is also an adverb, but it modifies the verb instead.

Hi Daniel,

I think the two sentences are different in meaning.

"most" in "what makes me get most mad is" is an adverb modifying the next word, "mad." Naurally the meaning becomes 'very mad' here.

The other one in "what makes me get mad most is" is also an adverb, but it modifies the verb instead. Therefore, it means 'get mad to the greatest extent' in this context.
