Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. How _____ of you to solve the puzzle so fast!
Answer: A
The correct word is 'smart'. In an exclamation of the form 'How ____ of you to solve the puzzle so fast!' the adjective stands in its simple form after how, and it says how clever the person was: 'How smart of you'.
'Smarter' is a comparative and needs something to be compared with, such as 'than', which is not there. 'Smartest' is a superlative that would need 'the' and a group to be the best of. 'Smarting' is the participle of the verb to smart, which means to feel a stinging pain, and does not fit the sense of cleverness. So the first option is correct.
