A Correct answer
Explanation

To 'dash off' means to write something quickly or hastily. Dashing off a terse letter due to lack of time is exactly what this phrasal verb describes. The other options don't fit: smashed, bashed, and slugged are violent physical actions, and malevolence is a noun meaning ill will.
