Correct answer is (2).

Some students might opt for (4). However, the infinitive 'to rush' already captures the idea of 'quickly'.

Can you help to explain when do we use a or an? For example, why is it a electrician and not an electrician? and an election and not a election?

The second one is.

If the first one was an accurate S&T answer, the question given would be a little tweaked to look like this \"\"I will be leaving for London tomorrow morning,\" Shermaine told her mother.\"
