Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Nitrobenzene is more reactive than acetophenone due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the nitro group. The nitro group makes the benzene ring more electron-deficient, making it more susceptible to electrophilic attack. Ethyl is not a suitable comparison as it is not an aromatic compound like nitrobenzene and acetophenone.
