    • Man

    • Down

    • Slowly

    Correct Answer
    A. Slowly
    Explanation
    The word "slowly" is an adverb in the given sentence. It modifies the verb "walked" and describes how the old man performed the action of walking. Adverbs often end in "-ly" and provide information about the manner, time, place, frequency, or degree of an action or verb. In this case, "slowly" tells us that the old man walked in a leisurely or unhurried manner.
