Answer 1

Answer:

Principal delivered a short speech.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The principal delivered a short speech.

Explanation:

Can't be Option B and C as they both are used in a comparative degree and the speech of the principal is not being compared to anything.

Can't be Option D as 'shortly' is used as future tense to indicate that it will be delivered (it is not yet delivered), but in the sentence, it has been delivered.

Therefore, your answer is Option A.
