Sarita speaks French best.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. well.
The original sentence, "Sarita speaks French best," implies a comparison, but no other subjects (e.g., people or contexts) are mentioned in the sentence.
"Best" is the superlative form of the adverb "well", used to compare actions among three or more subjects. It means "better than anyone else."
If no comparison is being made, the appropriate word to use is "well", which simply describes how Sarita speaks French.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- Sarita speaks French well.
