तुलनेच्या पायऱ्या (Degrees of Comparison) नियम:
•
नियम:
1.
जेव्हा तुलना फक्त दोघांमध्ये (Between two persons/things) केली जाते, तेव्हा नेहमी Comparative Degree (द्वितीय पायरी) चा वापर होतो. क्रियाविशेषणाचे रूप 'faster' येईल.
2.
Superlative Degree (तिसरी पायरी - fastest / the fastest): जेव्हा तुलना तिघांमध्ये किंवा सर्वांमध्ये (Among all / three or more) केली जाते, तेव्हाच Superlative Degree वापरली जाते.
•
वाक्यात स्पष्टपणे *"Between the two"* (दोघांमध्ये) म्हटले आहे; त्यामुळे येथे Comparative Degree चे रूप 'he runs faster' हेच व्याकरणदृष्ट्या १००% अचूक आहे:
*"Between the two, he runs faster."*

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 3 (he runs faster)
Degrees of Comparison Rules:
•
Syntactic Rule:
•
When a comparison is restricted strictly to two individuals or entities (*Between the two*), the Comparative Degree must be employed.
•
The Superlative Degree (*fastest / the fastest*) is grammatically permissible ONLY when comparing three or more entities (*Among all / Of all*).
•
In the prompt: *"Between the two, he runs faster."*
Because precisely two runners are compared, the comparative adverb faster is required.
•
Flaws in Other Options:
•
*he runs fastest / the fastest:* Incorrectly applies the superlative degree to a binary comparison.
•
*he runs very fast:* Positive degree fails to articulate the comparative contrast introduced by *between the two*.
