Question

Hello dear native speakers

The young woman who is talking with the police officer ...... because she has lost her wallet.

1) seems anxious
2) is seeming anxiously
3) seems anxiously
4) is seeming anxious

Obviously 1 is correct, but do you see any chance for the others?

Answer

No.
2 and 4 no because 'seem' is a stative verb - not used in continuous form.
3 (and 2) no because linking verbs (seem, feel, taste, be) are modified by adjectives (anxious), not adverbs (anxiously).
