LONGEST/THE LONGEST
Hello, everyone
I am confused about the use of "longest". Should I use it at the beginning or end of a sentence?
Like:
"Who is the person who remained LONGEST underwater?"
or
"Who is the person who remained THE LONGEST underwater?"
or
"Who is the person who remained underwater THE LONGEST?"
and
"He is the person who survived LONGEST being adrift at sea?"
or
"He is the person who survived THE LONGEST being adrift at sea?"
or
"He is the person that survived being adrift at sea THE LONGEST?"
Thank you so much!

Your first question should be, "Does 'longest' describe a noun or a verb?" Then that will tell you both where to put it in the sentence, and whether or not you need to add "the".
