The correct answer is Option (1) → eloquently
-
Eloquent (Adverb: eloquently): Speaking or writing fluently, persuasively, and effectively. If the audience was "completely captivated," it means they were charmed and held spellbound by the quality of her speech, which is the definition of speaking eloquently.
-
Reluctant (Adverb: reluctantly): Unwillingly; hesitantly. A hesitant speech would not captivate an audience.
-
Condescending (Adverb: condescendingly): Speaking in a way that suggests one is superior to others; patronizingly. A condescending speech would likely offend, not captivate, the audience.
-
Hasty (Adverb: hastily): With excessive speed or urgency; quickly. A rushed speech is unlikely to be captivating.
