Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: fast enough
Key rule: Use the positive (base) form of the adjective or adverb before 'enough' to mean 'sufficiently'.
Do not use comparative forms with 'enough' (for example, 'faster enough' is incorrect).
Do not use superlative forms with 'enough' (for example, 'fastest enough' or 'the fastest enough' are incorrect).
Use the base form plus 'enough' to express sufficiency (for example, 'fast enough').
