The strategy that would most improve Laurel’s statement to make it more conventional is option D) “Change the phrase "shooting the breeze" because it is too informal and cannot be understood literally.” When speaking to her new neighbors about babysitting their daughter, Laurel needs to adapt her language to her audience, in this case adults, in order to express her ideas in a way that everybody understands.

Hi Dad,
Thank you for thinking of getting me such nice presents! I know how hard you and mom work so it means a lot to me. It is hard to decide because I know if I picked the Playstation, my brother could also use it. The problem is though that I need a new laptop for school. So, I will choose the laptop. We can all use it also. Thank you again for such a wonderful present!
Love,
Me
In the case of this sentence we have an example of a <em>Passive Voice Sentence: </em>
<h2>The Hawaiian Islands are also known for their lush, exotic scenery</h2>
In which the <u>verb phrase</u> is are also known. “Also” in this case is just an adverb modifying the verb phrase. This last is compounded by the verb <em>To Be</em> in the present form and the perfective form of the main verb (know).
On the other hand, in this example of the passive, the <u>Subject Phrase</u> is The Hawaiian Islands which are the recipients of the action performed in the Verb Phrase by an unknown/covert agent which is not mentioned in this sentence.
