Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.
Tarika dances swiftest than others and misses all the steps.

  1. A
    Swiftiest
  2. B
    Swift
  3. C
    Swifter
  4. D
    Swiftly

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The sentence uses the conjunction than, which indicates that a comparison is being made between Tarika and others.
Swiftest is a superlative adjective, which is used when comparing more than two entities without the word "than".

Swifter is the comparative form of the adjective/adverb, which is correctly used with than to compare two entities or groups (Tarika vs. others).

Therefore, "swiftest" must be replaced with swifter to make the sentence grammatically correct.
