Rapidement vs vite
So, rapidement and vite are synonymous; however when I typed in vite for Henri runs quickly, it was marked as incorrect. Because they are synonymous, I feel that «vite» should be included as a correct response as well as rapidement.

Bonjour Nicholas,
I would tend to agree with your reply; however, in my French thesauraus rapidement and vite are listed as synonymous.

Not synonymous, rapidement is used with speed and probably better thought of as fast rather than quick.

If Henri runs quickly, vite should be vitement, I think, but the dictionary doesn't agree. Rapidement, vite as you believe or vitesse are possible.
