Correct Answer: fast


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation :

The grammatical hint is to look for the correct form of the adverb to express the degree of speed. The word "fastly" is not grammatically correct; the correct adverbial form is fast . Adverbs of manner, like "fast," don't typically take the "-ly" suffix. "Fast" is the correct adverb to use in this context to describe the speed of Riya's running.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Riya ran as fast as a cheetah and saved the child from falling.
