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.

Identify a social institution in the movie. Select a Disney movie. Use one of the three major sociological frameworks such as th

azamat

a) The Disney movie selected for analysis is Cinderella.

b) The social institution in such movie is marriage.

c) Sociological perspective: Feminism.

Here is the analysis:

In Disney's Cinderella, feminism, that is, the thought of equality between sexes, is not apparent. This approach takes roots in the movie's idea of a poor girl with a miserable life who dreams about a prince who marries her and takes her to his kingdom for "salvation" and, on the other hand, the prince falls in love with her only because she is pretty. But nowadays, feminism would ask: why does she need a prince to thrive in life when she is plenty and has plenty to make the effort to achieve her own progress?

Another point for discussion is how do they fall in love in the first place: they barely know each other but, yeah, they are in love. So, the movie shows a "superficial love", since if Cinderella wasn't pretty, he would never love her back.

Thus, the movie encourages little girls to aspire to find the other significant one and get married with a "him", instead of showing girls how to overcome themselves and afterwards, falling in love, because only if you fall in love with yourself, you can fall for someone else.
