Correct Answer: Much fast


Solution : The third option is correct.

  • The error lies in the incorrect usage of adjectives.
  • The positive adjective, i.e., fast , needs to be replaced with its comparative degree, i.e., faster.
  • Comparative degree adjective : A comparative adjective is an adjective used to compare two people or things. We use comparative adjectives to say that one person or thing demonstrates a high degree of quality or is a better example of quality than the other.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: If you are going downhill, you can go much faster.
