Solution

The correct option is D eight
Within the sentence, “times faster” indicates that it is referring to the numerical amount by which “he” ran faster than before. Thus, there has to be a numerical value in the blank.

Only “Option B” refers to a number. Hence it is the correct option.

The other three options are different tenses of “eat”. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, they are incorrect.
