Question

“She completed the task ___ than I expected.”

• A. Quick
• B. More quick
• C. Quickly
• D. More quickly

Answer 1

Answer:

D. More quickly

The verb “completed” needs an adverb to describe how the task was done.

• Quick → adjective, cannot modify a verb

• More quick → incorrect; adjectives form comparatives differently, but here we need an adverb

• Quickly → adverb, but this is the positive form, not comparative

• More quickly → comparative adverb, used when comparing how fast something was done relative to expectations

Correct sentence:
“She completed the task more quickly than I expected.”
