Gosh, they both are amazing, but "America" ... M!  ... It's just better.
They've a-a-a-a-a-all co-o-o-o-ome to look for Ame-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-erica-a-a-a-a-a-a-a.
Plus, the final instrumental section is ... is just awesome.

America, obviously. Try to compare your results with my older poll:

^ Whoa!  ... Let's see how it will turn out this time given only two choices and a new row of PA membership.

Definitely No Opportunity Necessary: mindblowing track. America is quite good too, though!

No Opportunity is a great song indeed, but their treatment of America is brilliant. Howe's extended solo is a textbook example of structure.

Without searching I figured there would have been a similar poll, but I just wanted these two songs. Btw, I did just vote; I have a habit of making a poll then coming back later to vote in it.

Arrrgh!! I'm partial to both, but "America" for me!!
I'm also very fond of the Beatles cover, "Every Little Thing"....Peter Banks really shines on this one!

America is a great tune; Yes did it better.  I almost count it as a track on Fragile to make up for the somewhat lack of legitimate group compositions.

I think 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' has the best Yes cover.
