- Key Phrase: "not as ... as" indicates a comparison between Pet-Bot and multiple other robots.
- Correct Answer: a) fast
- Explanation: In this case, we use the base form of the adjective "fast" because "as ... as" requires the positive form of the adjective.

#### 3. Fix-Bot has a shinier chrome finish than Hug-Bot, but the metallic Clean-Bot is the _______.
- Key Phrase: "the" indicates a comparison among multiple robots (Fix-Bot, Hug-Bot, and Clean-Bot).

- Key Phrase: "than" indicates a comparison between two robots (Homework-Bot and Sports-Bot).
