3.  For sentence 3: "swung" is a verb (needs adverb "wildly"), "flew" is a verb (needs adverb "gently").
4.  For sentence 4: "slid" and the second blank modify the verb action (both need adverbs "boldly" and "recklessly").
5.  For sentence 5: "dove" is a verb (needs adverb "deftly"), "catch" is a noun (needs adjective "miraculous").
