Julie Lambert · Answer 1

The answer would be excitedly! Because Feverishly means excited, restless, or uncontrolled!

Malik Figueroa · Answer 2

excitedly

Explanation:

This is the answer because he wasn't moving slow if he did those math questions quickly, and he wouldn't work gloomily if he worked fast either. Methodically makes a bit of sense, but overall exitedly is the best answer.
