Which word is an adverb?

Explanation:
An adverb describes how an action is done, often by modifying a verb. Many adverbs end in -ly, formed from an adjective. Here, the adverb is swiftly, because it tells how the action happens: “She moves swiftly.” The other words are not adverbs: swift describes a noun as an adjective, speed is a noun (or a verb in different use), and rapid is an adjective describing a noun.
