To solve this question, we need to understand the sentence structure and choose the correct adverb to fill in the blank. Let's break down the sentence and analyze each option:
A: loudly
- This option means to speak with a high volume or a strong sound.
- It is a suitable adverb to use in the given sentence because if someone cannot hear, speaking loudly can help overcome the problem.
B: slowly
- This option means to speak at a leisurely or unhurried pace.
- While speaking slowly may help someone understand better, it might not necessarily solve the problem of not being able to hear.
C: hardly
- This option means almost not at all or barely.
- Using "hardly" in this context would not make sense because it suggests that the person is speaking very little rather than speaking loudly.
D: quickly
- This option means to speak with speed or haste.
- Speaking quickly would not be an effective solution for someone who cannot hear, as it does not address the issue at hand.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: loudly as it is the most appropriate adverb to use in the given sentence to help overcome the problem of not being able to hear.
