Lively is actually a synonym for nimble but quickening is likely to be the correct answer.

In the sentence:
"The great dancer impressed the appreciative crowd with his nimble movements."
The best synonym is lively.
Why not the others?
Unrhythmic = not following a rhythm (opposite meaning).
Quickening = becoming faster, not a direct synonym of nimble.
Clear = easy to understand or see.
Meaning of nimble: agile, lively, quick, light-footed.
