Question

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.

Riya ran as **fastly** as a cheetah and saved the child from falling.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence uses the structure "as ... as" which requires an adverb to describe the verb "ran".

2. The word "fastly" is not a correct adverb form in English.

3. The word "fast" can function as both an adjective and an adverb without any change in form.

4. Therefore, the correct phrase is "ran as fast as a cheetah".

**Answer:** Option (3) **fast**
