To find out how many people said vanilla ice cream was better than chocolate, we need to subtract the number of people who said chocolate ice cream was better from the total number surveyed.
Two-fifth of 35 people said chocolate ice cream was better, which is 2/5 * 35 = 14 people.
To find the number of people who said vanilla ice cream was better, we subtract 14 from the total number surveyed: 35 - 14 = 21 people.
Therefore, the answer is C) 21 people.
