which ONE ? I read this sentence: "Which do you think is the most interesting?" shouldn't it be:"Which do you thing is the more interesting one?". If not..why?! "I THINK LONDON IS THE MOST INTERESTING" or "I think London is the more interesting ONE" ?? Why in some sentence we have to put ONE ? thank you

"Which" already implies "one". :)

<em>Which (one) do you think is the most interesting (one, out of them)?</em>

English hates redundant words, so "one" is removed. We only include "one" if we really need it!

You're right in saying that it could be written as "Which is the most interesting one?" However, it is already possible to tell from the word "which" that you are expecting the answer to be only one of the things mentioned, so you can get rid of the word "one". (In the same way you take "io" away from "parlo")
