After she saw the shark, Jen clambered back into the boat as quickly as she could. What does clamber mean? Walk lazily Jump gracefully Climb awkwardly Scream fearfully

It would be to C) Climb awkwardly. The other two simply don't make sense if you replaced the word with the definitions offered. She wouldn't walk lazily back into the boat after seeing the shark, nor would she jump gracefully. She might scream fearfully after seeing the shark, but it doesn't help her get into the boat.
