The answers stating "adjective" are wrong.
"Adjectives" modify nouns, not verbs.
("Large" describes "fish," so it is an "adjective.")
The answers stating "adverb" are correct (choice D).
"Swiftly" describes HOW the large fish "swim,"
so it is an "adverb."
Adverbs describe verbs (or other adverbs)
and answer questions such as
HOW, WHERE, WHEN, WHY,
HOW OFTEN, To WHAT extent or In WHAT way?

An adverb, modifying the verb "swim."
Adjectives modify nouns. "Large" is an adjective modifying "fish."

Adjectives describe how and action is taking place. The fish are swimming (action verb) swiftly (this is the adjective that is decribing how the swimming is happening).

It's an adverb, you jack-***.
