The word 'stealthy' means done in a quiet way. although the option 'careful' is close is to the answer, is should not be considered as the answer. This is becauase, the word 'stealthy' has negative conotation and something done in secret. Being careful can be both positive and negative and the positive supercedes the negative.
The word ' stealthy' means done quietly. Although the option for 'carefully' is close to the answer, yet it should not be taken as the answer. The reason is that 'quietly', it has some level of secrecy and negative tendency. However, if somwething is done carefully, the level of negativity is reduced compared to when it is done quiently.
