Quicker & More Quickly for SC portion - I don't understand what Emily was talking about regarding "Quicker" vs. "More Quickly" in the online lab - around the 2 hour mark. Can you please elaborate?

I have not listened to the specific recording, so I don't know exactly what she said.

However, the difference is that quicker is an adjective and modifies a noun, while quickly is an adverb and modifies a verb or another adverb. In the following examples, "quicker" modifies "the hare".

The hare is quicker than the tortoise. The hare is the quicker animal.

In the example below, "more quickly" describes how the hare "travels."

The hare travels more quickly than the tortoise.

So you want to ask yourself, what are you modifying? Does it describe the noun or the action?
