You need to get on top of your stuff.
you need to stay in school and get good grades and if you have a hard time with that then you need to take notes and study. a lot.
you need to focus on your career after college and don't let anyone get in your way or you won't get where you deserve to be.
I believe the answer is conflict. I hope this helps!:)
Verbal- Exploring (our mistakes)
Verbal Type-Gerund Phrase
Function-Direct Object
The linking verb is the word, "is" and "effective" is the predicate adjective.
I hope this helps.
Take care,
