Question

The situation is as the following: three body buiders are posing a specific pose.

I would like to ask "who do you think looks better 'in or at' this pose?"

My question is should it be 'in or at'? Are both correct maybe?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot. Just curious is ‘at’ wrong or is ‘in’ just better?

I'm not usually so persnickety, but actually, I see two different meanings:

'looks better in' = appears to better advantage while in the pose
'looks better at' = seems to be better skilled at assuming the pose

Thanks a lot teacher. That was what I thought I think.

Mister Micawber'looks better at' = seems to be better skilled at assuming the pose

Does ‘at assuming’ here mean ‘at doing the pose’? Or do you mean here that ‘look better at’ means at actually to be more skilled at the movement involved in this pose?

'assuming a pose' = posing.

Mister Micawber'assuming a pose' = posing.

Got it. Thanks a lot teacher. So my interpretation is correct regarding their usage, right?

For 3 people, I prefer 'Who do you think looks best . . .? '.

Mister Micawber'assuming a pose' = posing.

Hi teacher, does 'assuming a pose = posing" mean the motion involved while posing, and thus a person is better at doing this pose?

Many thanks again and sorry to bother you.
