Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The sentence compares the speed of two individuals, Rohan and Suresh. When making comparisons, we use "as [adjective/adverb] as" to indicate that two things are equal in a certain quality or degree. In this case, the quality being compared is "fast", which is an adverb in this context. The concept of comparative degree has been used.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Rohan is as fast as or perhaps faster than Suresh."
