    Correct Answer
    nervously
    Explanation
    The word "nervously" is the correct answer because it accurately describes someone who is anxious, agitated, or alarmed. It implies a state of unease or tension, often accompanied by restlessness or fidgeting. The other options in the word bank, such as "expect," "questioning," and "authority," do not convey the same meaning as "nervously" in relation to anxiety or agitation.

When someone is questioning something, they are expressing doubt or uncertainty about its truth or validity. The other words in the word bank, such as "nervously," "expect," and "authority," do not accurately capture the meaning of doubting or challenging the truth or validity of something. Therefore, "questioning" is the correct answer.
