Correct Answer: cautiously


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The word cautiously fits well in the context, as it conveys the idea of walking down the stairs with care and attention to avoid making noise. It aligns with the intention of being quiet and not disturbing others.

The meanings of other words are:

  • Neatly : This refers to something that is tidy or well-organized.
  • Furiously : This refers to an extremely angry or agitated manner.
  • Orderly : This refers to something that is organised and disciplined.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "I cautiously walked down the stairs, careful to be as quiet as possible."
