Niceness rankings

Comments

I think "You look so much better than before, you really needed it" is the least polite of those three. It compliments them in the present but insults their entire past appearance. 'A' helps the speaker with the recovering face save face. For the test, you'll need to give reasons for why these guys are ranked as more polite than others.
I believe niceness is completely objective, I could think one is nicer than another one but you may think that it is not. I believe it also depends on truth value. If a person is saying I agree just to agree and doesn't actually I agree than think that the second answer in the first example would be first. Other than that good job!
