Тут речь о скорости, и правильно использовать "slowly". - "more slowly" — сравнительная степень, не обязательно, может быть чуть излишне. - "slowly" — правильно, без сравнения. - "much slowly" — неправильно. - "slower" — сравнительная степень, правильна при сравнении, например, "it moves slower than ...", но так в данном случае лучше "slowly", потому что сравниваем движение (как он двигался). **Ответ:** 2) slowly --- ### Итоговая версия заполненного текста: Cars A car has got wheels.
