**Explanation**
In this exercise, we need to use the superlative form of the adverbs. Superlative adverbs are used to compare three or more things or actions and show which one is the most or least of that quality.
* **Regular Adverbs (like 'late', 'fast', 'hard'):** For most one-syllable adverbs, add "-est" to the end and use "the" before. For instance, 'late' becomes 'the latest'. 'Fast' becomes 'the fastest'
* **Adverbs ending in -ly (like 'fluently', 'gracefully', 'responsibly'):** These usually require "the most" before them. For example, 'fluently' becomes 'the most fluently'.
* **Irregular adverbs:** Some adverbs have unique superlative forms, 'badly' becomes 'the worst'
* **Adverb 'a lot':** The superlative of 'a lot' is 'the most'.
By using the superlative form, we are emphasizing the highest degree of the action or quality described by the adverb in the context of comparison provided in each sentence.
