There is a question in my book which has made me confused.
I have to choose between the most important and most important in this sentence:
Education is considered the most important / most important area in life.
and the teacher's book says that most important is correct! without The!
isn't it superlative form and don't we need the?!
Hello, Atiye, and welcome to the Grammar Exchange.

With a noun ("area," in this case), you need an article:
- Education is considered the most important area in life. (superlative)
- Education is considered a most important area in life. (= an extremely important area, an area of utmost importance)
