I'm sure you could make the argument using some definition of best. Perhaps best in it's impact via software created in it rather than the language itself. Although then I think C would win over C++ because of Linux.

I'm imagining a slightly tongue in cheek 'best' alongside an implication of subjectivity. But given this was a highschool teacher I wouldn't be surprised if it was instead a multi choice test question with a single "correct" answer? Which of course would be ridiculous.

"make the argument using some definition of best"

I won't take the bait to dive into that discussion! ;)

Luckily she never tested us on it, I think she was understandably biased from working in C++ in an earlier job.
