quick = fast, swift, moving without delay *(तेज़, फुर्तीला)* — it matches.

• clumsy = awkward, heavy-handed in movement *(भद्दा, अनाड़ी)* — the opposite.
• slow = not fast, taking a long time *(धीमा)* — the opposite.
• careless = not paying proper attention *(लापरवाह)* — about attitude, not speed.
