With all my heart, I thank you for this great effort which I deeply appreciate. In fact, I have a modest suggestion, you sometimes say "I don't know what the people who write and grade the exams think on this issue," so why isn't there some sort of cooperation between you and those people becasse this sort of sentence can be included in the final exam. Thank you.

Editor's reply:

There is some cooperation between us and the MoE at some levels, but we do not write or correct the exams


Another question concerning the same point

If I am comparing two things or people, should I use the comparative or the superlative? For example, "Hussien is not as old as Peter. Peter is the older of the two." Or should I say "Peter is the oldest of the two?"

Most careful writers use the comparative when they are comparing only two things. When I was in school years ago, we were taught that we had to use the comparative for two and the superlative for three or more.
In spoken language, many people do use the superlative for only two things, but other people consider this to be incorrect.
I think what is confusing you is the use of the with the comparative. We usually use the with the superlative (but see here and here and here), but that does not mean that we cannot use the with a comparative. Please see here for more discussion of this issue.
