Connotation and Denotation

Question 5 • 8th Grade Language Arts A

On the debate team, Joe speaks fast but Malory speaks .

Answer
A
most quick
B
more rapidly
C
slowest

Explanation

The sentence compares how Joe and Malory speak, so the comparative adverb “more rapidly” fits: “Joe speaks fast, but Malory speaks more rapidly.” “Most quick” is not the correct adverb form, and “slowest” is a superlative rather than a comparison between two people.
