Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3. i.e. fast.

  • In this sentence, "fast" is an adverb modifying the verb "runs," and it describes how he runs despite being stout.
  • "Fast" is the appropriate adverb to indicate the speed or manner of running.
  • "fastly" is not a standard English adverb. The correct adverb form of "fast" is simply "fast."

Thus, the completed sentence would be: Though he is stout, he runs fast.
