Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks:
After a year of training at the district pool, Tanvi can now swim ______ fast ______ her coach.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → as, as
As ... as is a pair of joining words that go together. It shows that two people or things are equal in some way. Tanvi and her coach now swim at the same speed. This is a positive sentence, so the pair is “as ... as”. “So ... as” is used only after “not” (not so fast as). “Than” goes with words like “faster”, not with “as” or “so”.
Complete sentence: After a year of training at the district pool, Tanvi can now swim as fast as her coach.
