    First, I'm going to highlight all the adverbs in the options:

    A. Lucy quickly hid behind the tree.

    B. Mr. Dodge moved in an extremely slow manner.

    C. Jacob was a very smart boy.

    D. The dress was terribly old

    Adverbs can modify verbs or adjectives, and in options B, C and D it is adjectives that are modified: slow, smart, old.

    The correct answer is A: in option A the adverb modifies a verb
