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

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. fast

  • The underlined part of the sentence “Riya ran as fastly as a cheetah and saved the child from falling” is incorrect.

  • The word “fastly” is not a valid adverb in English. Instead, we can use the adverb “fast” to describe how Riya ran.

  • Therefore, the corrected sentence "Riya ran as fast as a cheetah and saved the child from falling".

  • Hence, the correct answer would be fast.
