"quick" and "swift" are adjectives; that is, they describe a noun (a quick rabbit, a swift bird, etc.)
"quickly" is an adverb, which describes a verb (he ran quickly, she swam quickly)
Therefore, 3 is correct, as in 1 & 2, "quick" and "swift" describe the verb "ran"; so grammatically, an adverb is needed (quickly or swiftly).
Best of luck!

3 is the right answer
1 and 2 share the same problem- you must add the -ly on the end of the adverb because it agrees with the way the sentence is phrased.

Because you are describing the verb RAN, you need an adverb. Which of the following is an ADVERB:
quick
swift
swiftly
Pick the adverb and you have your answer.
