Fervently most nearly means

  1. Calmly

  2. Indifferently

  3. Passionately

  4. Quietly

The correct answer is: Calmly

Fervently most nearly means passionately. The word fervently implies a strong and earnest desire, enthusiasm, or conviction, while the other options do not convey the same sense of intensity and emotion. Calmly and quietly both suggest a sense of peace and tranquility, while indifferently conveys a lack of interest or concern. Therefore, these options are not as accurate as passionately.
