Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This sentence requires a comparative adverb to show that "she" runs faster than "I" do. The comparative form of the adverb "quickly" is "more quickly." Option A is the superlative form, which would mean that "she" runs faster than anyone else, not just faster than the speaker. Option B is also the superlative form but with a grammatically incorrect use of "most."
