beaucoup / bien mieux

Question

The suggested translation of 'will justify much better' is 'justifiera bien mieux'; and if you try 'justifiera beaucoup mieux' it is marked wrong. I had thought either would be fine here?

Hi Tom, 
I have flagged this up and asked to consider adding it.
In the meantime, there is a slight difference in meaning -
" Both phrases are used to express that something is being justified in a significantly better way.
The difference is subtle:
- "Bien mieux" might be closer to "far better" or "considerably better" -
- "Beaucoup mieux" could be translated as "much better" or "a lot better" "
Hope this helps!

Bonjour Tom, 
"Beaucoup mieux" has now been added as a correct alternative.
