Correct Answer: shakily


Solution : The first option is correct.

Shakily means moving, acting unsteadily, or trembling. In this context, it implies an unsteady or wavering movement, which fits the situation of someone falling.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Firmly means with strength, solidly, or securely.
  • Vaguely means in an unclear or uncertain manner.
  • Strongly means with great force or power.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "She was moving slowly and shakily yesterday when she fell."
