I might have written 'he is one of the bravest boys in the school'.  Yours seems OK though, too; a strict teacher might want he instead of him.

Please sir, I already know that there might be more alternatives to this but the question is "Whether I am grammatically right or wrong?" If I am grammatically correct, even the most strict teacher support my statement. Dont you think?

Please answer soon!! Thanx for the reply though

Hey!! Please, we are straying from the point. I agree there is disagreement but what should I do to find whether mine is correct or not?

Very few boys are as brave as he  in the school. Maybe!! My teacher is a stupid fellow. I know we must respect all our teachers but you know she always teaches us from guides and it doesnt seem to be + point for me. If the statement in her guide would match mine, she will give me but if it doesnt, sh wont. Thanx for helping!
