  Eeeeh I'm unsure. But if it was in a parallel reasoning question I would try to find similar language being used in one of the answers. Like if one answer said "most" and another said "virtually every" I would select the "virtually every" one.

  So the stimulus used "most" and "virtually every"

  Th correct answer used "nearly all" and "most"

  From a logical perspective, I think it's "most."

  Also there was a great discussion on "almost all":

  It is 'most', but it's stronger than 'most'. I saw an explanation yesterday where J.Y. explained this (sorry forgot which exp! ) and almost all is basically right under all, and it is stronger because 'most' is more than half or close to all. Whereas almost all/nearly all is way closer to all.

  So yeah, it is 'most' but just think of it as stronger.
