3. There is a bus stop near the stone.
4. He is a highly skilled engineer.

Explanation:

1. "Hard" is an adverb that means with a lot of effort, so it's the correct word to describe how the girl works on her English.

2. "Hardly" is an adverb that means barely or almost not at all. It's the correct word to describe Ann's ability to speak when she was tired.

3. "Near" is used to describe proximity, so it's the correct word to use when referring to the bus stop's location.

4. "Highly" is an adverb that means to a great extent or in a high degree, making it the correct word to describe the engineer's level of skill.

5. "Late" is an adjective that means occurring or arriving after the expected or usual time, so it's the correct word to describe the situation of needing to go home because it's getting late.

6. "Nearly" is an adverb that means almost or not quite, so it's the correct word to describe how close he is to being ready with the test.
