Hitchwingspan. haha.

Coherently means "in a sensible, or easily understood fashion." So not applicable.

Ineptly, means "incapable" so, again not applicable.

pertinaciously means "persevering or dogged"

Stringently means "restrictive, up-tight"

Therefore the answer is probably Pertinaciously.
