  Read the text below, paying close attention to the bold words.

Would you buy your daughter a "Barbie"? Many American parents do. In fact, the Barbie Doll is one of the top selling toys
in the USA. But some parents find the doll troubling. They think the thin but busty doll resembles fashion models more than
ordinary women. They think that the doll encourages negative stereotypes of women. The company that makes Barbie
dolls has tried to answer parents' concerns by including "Doctor Barbie" and "Dentist Barbie" for example. These dolls
show Barbie working in serious jobs. But one skeptical parent noticed that the Dentist Barbie wears a short skirt and tight
blouse that you are unlikely to see in a real dentist office.
