1, 2. 항상, 늘 always
항상 and 늘 both mean “always”. Both words are used to describe something that does not change at any time. I think 늘 is more commonly used in casual conversation.

그는 항상 바쁘다. He is always busy.

늘 너의 곁에 있을게. I will always be with you.

부모님 말씀이 대개 옳아. Parents are usually right.

4. 보통 normally, generally
보통 can be used both as a noun and as an adverb, as a noun, it means the state of being normal or ordinary. And as an adverb, it means normally or generally.

8. 좀처럼 ~하지 않는다 seldom
There are no equivalent Korean words for seldom, hardly, rarely, never. You have to make negative statements to describe these adverbs. 좀처럼 ~하지 않는다 means not able to easily do something.

너랑 정 반대네. 너는 좀처럼 언니 말을 듣지 않잖아. She’s completely opposite to you. You seldom obey her words.

9. 거의 ~하지 않는다 hardly, rarely
거의 means nearly and almost. So 거의 ~하지 않는다 means to hardly do something.

너 원래도 집밖에 거의 안 나가잖아. You hardly go out from the beginning.

10. 절대 ~하지 않는다 never
절대 can be used both as a noun and as an adverb, with the meaning of absolute and absolutely. For example, 절대 권력 means absolute power and 절대 음감 means perfect pitch. 절대 ~하지 않는다 means to never do something.
