✦Grammar Breakdown

¿Quéopcióndeenvíoesmásrápida?

Qué vs. Cuál

'Qué' is used before a noun to ask 'which' or 'what kind of' (e.g., '¿Qué libro?'). 'Cuál' is used when asking 'which one' or 'what' when there's a choice from a group, often without a noun immediately following (e.g., '¿Cuál es tu favorito?').

Opción de envío

This literally means 'option of shipping'. 'De' is a versatile preposition often meaning 'of' or 'from', used here to link 'opción' with 'envío'.

Ser (es)

'Es' is the third-person singular form of the verb 'ser' (to be). It's used here to describe an inherent quality (speed) of the shipping option, not a temporary state.

Más + Adjective

'Más' means 'more'. When placed before an adjective (like 'rápida'), it forms the comparative degree, meaning 'more [adjective]' or '[adjective]-er'.

Rápida (Adjective Agreement)

'Rápida' is the feminine singular form of the adjective 'rápido' (fast). It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, 'opción' (feminine singular).
