Answer: The correct answer is more quickly: "Do lentils cook more quickly than pinto beans?".

Explanation: In the sentence provided, there are two items that are being compared ("lentils" and "pinto beans"); therefore, a comparative form must be used. Comparative adjectives/adverbs are formed by adding the suffix "-er" at the end of the word or by including the word "more" before the adjective/adverb. In that way, "most quickest" and "most quickly" cannot fill in the blank because they represent superlative forms. Moreover, "more quicker" is an incorrect comparative form since "more" and "-er" cannot appear together. Therefore, the form that fills in the blank is "more quickly": the word "more" has been added before the adverb "quickly" in order to give place to the comparative form.

Does the text contain a vague pronoun reference? The airline lost Eve's baggage when she flew to Montreal with her sister last m

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A pronoun is when you define a person with a word by using their gender, like "he, her, him, she," etc. A vague pronoun reference is still a pronoun because it defines someone but does not specifically give their gender. \

For example: "It was very tired."

Now, look back at the text. The pronouns the author used was "she, her." These definitely let us know that Eve is female and so is not a vague pronoun reference.
