Answer:
Here you go!
Explanation:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I feel that I am the ideal candidate for the receptionist position at your company. I have three years of experience as a receptionist in a company that is similar to yours. My phone skills and written communication are excellent. These skills help me understand that every person in a company help make the business a success. At my current job, the team says that I am very helpful. Everyone appreciates when I go the extra mile to get the job done right. My current employer and coworkers feel that I am an asset to the team. I am efficient and organized. Are there any other details about me that you would like to know? If so, please contact me. Here is my résumé. You can reach me by e-mail or phone. I look forward to speaking with you in person.
Thanks,
Felicia Fellini

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. The rest of the options are incorrect since the language used is not informal and does not interfere with the understanding of her message.
