    A down, more quick Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B fast, up Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C down, hastily Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D slowly, down Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, the clause contains adverb of manner and adverb of place showing directions. So, the order is first, adverb of place and then adverb of manner. Here, ‘down’ is the adverb of place and ‘hastily’ is the adverb of manner. In A, the adverb of manner is not used. In B and D, adverb of manner comes first. So, they are wrong. When I rang the bell, he came down hastily .
