Answer:
Dana's younger cousin is even more annoying than mine.
Explanation:
Annoyingly would be used in the context of, " Dana's cousin was annoyingly poking me," so it will be near a verb. Annoying is just generally describing the personality of Dana's younger cousin.
D) Change the phrase "shooting the breeze" because it is too informal and cannot be understood literally.
This is an essay about the character, Charley Le Grant.
Charley Le Grant is an ambitious and cunning deputy, who one day, decides to earn a bit of extra money by performing a task that would as well satisfy his thirst for adventure. He discusses the idea of collecting and selling oysters on the narrator after taking a glance of a boat full of them running ashore. He later witnessed the discussion between a constable and a pirate crew, arguing over the possession of the oyster trove. Charley learns of the constable, Mr. Taft's plight and notifies the narrator, "I'm going to interview him about that reward". He volunteers himself and his crew on the quest of retrieving the oysters from the pirates.
Having successfully made a deal, Charley and the narrator use their wits on a plan's design to execute their task. They hire a third member, Nicholas, who aids them in providing knowledge of the pirate island. Having designed the plan, Charley drops his two companions on the island, promising to return later to extract them along with the goods.
After a while, Charley returns to the island and picks up his companions along with a couple of sacks full of oysters. They rowed back home, nimbly dodging gunshots, but manage to fulfill their task triumphantly.
