Question

This item asks you to choose the appropriate Japanese words to fill two blanks in the sentence meaning “Trains are faster than buses.” The base structure is 電車 [blank] バス [blank] はやいです。

First blank options (the words that can come after 電車):
- のほうが
- より
- と
- いちばん
- (empty option) 
Understanding these choices: のほうが is used to mark the subject of comparison when stating that one item has more of a particular quality than another (A のほうが B より…). より is used to introduce the thing that is being compared (A は B より…). と is a quotative/and-like particle not used for this comparative structure. いちばん means “the most,” which would be inappropriate for a simple comparison of speed here. The empty option would simply leave a blank and is not a valid choice.

Second blank options (the words that can come before はやいです):
- より
- いちばん
- のほうが
- が
- (empty option)
Analysis: より is used after the comparison target (バス より) to indicate “than.” いちばん would mean “the fastest,” which is not what the sentence expresses. のほうが again signals a comparative structure and wouldn’t directly precede はやいです in this slot. が is a subject marker and does not fit the predicate sentence structure here. The empty option is not a valid filler.

Putting it together: to correctly say “Trains are faster than buses,” you typically form 電車のほうがバスよりはやいです。 This uses のほうが for the subject-side comparison and より for the comparison marker before はやいです, aligning with the standard Japanese comparative construction.

Therefore:
- First blank should be のほうが (to mark “trains” as the item in the comparison).
- Second blank should be より (to introduce the standard comparison “than buses”).

If you attempted alternative fillings, like 電車はバスよりはやいです, that would be grammatical but subtly different in emphasis (topic vs. contrast) and is a less common rendering for this exact sentence. The most straightforward and natural form with 두 blanks is 電車のほうがバスよりはやいです, using のほうが and より in their conventional roles for comparison.
