Question 34

Finishing quickly isn't as important as answering correctly.

The phrase emphasizes the importance of accuracy over speed, indicating that the adverb "quickly" is the most appropriate choice to convey this message effectively.

A) Quick

"Quick" is an adjective and does not fit grammatically in the context of the sentence, which requires an adverb to modify the verb "finishing." Therefore, this option is incorrect.

B) As quick

"As quick" is a comparative phrase that also serves as an adjective rather than an adverb. It fails to properly modify the verb "finishing," making it an inappropriate choice for this context.

C) So quickist

"So quickist" is not a standard English expression; "quickist" is not a recognized word or form. Additionally, it does not function as an adverb, which is needed here, rendering this option incorrect.

D) Quickly

"Quickly" is the correct adverb that appropriately modifies the verb "finishing," conveying the intended meaning that the speed of finishing is less important than accuracy. This aligns perfectly with the sentence's emphasis.

Conclusion

The correct answer "quickly" effectively conveys the idea that accuracy is prioritized over speed. The other options either do not fit grammatically or fail to convey the same meaning, confirming that "quickly" is the only suitable choice in this context.
