An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.

List-I	List-II	Explanation
(A) I thought the restaurant would be expensive but it was reasonably affordable.	(II) reasonably	Reasonably means fairly, to an acceptable degree. "But" shows the price was better than expected.
(B) It was a serious accident. But the car was hardly damaged.	(IV) hardly	Hardly means almost not. "But" shows a contrast with the serious accident, so the car was almost undamaged.
(C) The meeting was a disaster as it was very badly organized.	(I) badly	Badly means poorly. Poor organisation explains why the meeting was a disaster.
(D) Mira is gifted, she has the ability to learn any language quickly.	(III) quickly	Quickly means fast, in a short time. A gifted learner picks up languages fast.
