Correct Answer: very quickly


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The phrase "by leaps and bounds" is an idiomatic expression that means to make rapid progress or growth, often in a significant and noticeable manner. It denotes substantial and quick advancement rather than slow progress.
"Very quickly" aligns with the meaning of the original phrase and signifies a rapid and considerable increase, which is consistent with the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is very quickly.
