Good question. I bet a lot of native speakers would pick something other than hastily, especially if they don't spend a long time thinking about it.
I'm hoping each answer yields a different score because a different power of argument could be made for each of them. Here's how I would rank them: hastily (strongest argument), then candidly, then meticulously, then eloquently (weakest argument).
