The and Grammar Check
Is the below correct?
1. Who is the person that runs the 100 meters the fastest in the world. Usain Bolt is the person that runs the 100 metere the fastest in the world.
Also if I want to talk about something for eg the guitar
1 The acoustic guitar is an instrument made of wood.
Would it be best to use "the" rather than "an"?
Thanks Fulvio

- yellowstarstruck 1.
- Who is the person that runs the 100 meters the fastest in the world.
- Usain Bolt is the person that runs the 100 metere the fastest in the world.
- These sentences are grammatical (though the first is missing a question mark), but in practice they feel a bit laboured.
- You can say: Who is the world's fastest 100 meter runner?

Thanks for the explanation!
1. An acoustic guitar is the instrument made of wood.
I gather using an would be incorrect in this case?
