Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the word being modified by the underlined phrase.
The phrase modifies the verb 'prepared'.
Determining what is being modified identifies whether an adjective or an adverb is required.
2
Determine whether an adjective or an adverb is needed to modify the verb 'prepared'.
An adverb is needed because adverbs modify verbs, whereas adjectives modify nouns.
Applying the correct part of speech ensures grammatical accuracy.
3
Identify the correct comparative form for comparing two entities.
Since two people (the chef and the sous chef) are being compared, the comparative form 'more quickly' is correct, rather than the superlative 'quickest' or the double comparative 'more quicker'.
Selecting the correct degree of comparison ensures the sentence is logical and grammatically sound.
