• A. No other animal is as fast as the cheetah.
• B. No other animal is faster than the cheetah.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B No other animal is faster than the cheetah.
C The cheetah is faster than any other animal.
D The cheetah is faster than all the other animals.

In the given sentence, it is told that the cheetah is the fastest animal.
In option B, the adjective 'faster' compares the speed of other animal with the cheetah and the use of 'no' indicates that as compared to the cheetah their speed is slower. So, it is correct.
In option C, "faster" points that the cheetah's speed is more than any other animal. So, it is correct.
In option D, "faster" compares the speed of the cheetah with "other animals". So, this option is also correct.

Option A is incorrect as the adjective is in the positive degree.
