Answer:

A. Crawled

Explanation:

You are given the sentence:

The baby crawled slowly toward her favorite toy.

Your subject/direct object in this sentence, is the baby. Next you ask yourself, what is the baby doing? Crawling. This is your verb. The next thing to do, is recognize your adverb, which in this case, would be the word slowly. This would be a descriptive adverb, that many would mistake for an adjective, but looking into the sentence, we see that the adjective is the word, favorite, as it modifies the noun, toy. An adverb modifies a noun, a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. The word slowly in this sentence is modifying the verb crawled.

How did the baby crawl? Slowly.

How did the Little Rock Nine help bring about change beyond Central High School? please help asap. This is for school

ira [324]

They were kind of the “trial run” for integration. They caused a message to be sent to the public that integration was happening and the public would accept it, and if they didn’t accept it the government would quite literally send the military to back up the law and new way of doing things.
After the Little Rock Nine began attending a previously whites-only school, it was made VERY explicitly clear that integration was here to stay and nothing would change that.
Hope this helps.

Answer: I think the author wanted to explain what dogs can and can't do.

Explanation:

I think this because the paragraph talks about how dogs can be so smart and then all of a sudden be chasing a tail that they're never going to catch for an hour.
