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 correct answer to this open question is the following.
This question is incomplete because it does not attach the excerpts. You forgot to attach the text titled "Amazing Plants" and the text title "Trapped by a Predator."
Without the texts, we cannot read what is the content.
However, trying to help you we did some deep research and can comment on the following.
The information that the reader learns from "Amazing Plants" that is missing in "Trapped by a Predator" is a description of the pitcher plant.
In the excerpt "Amazing Plants,<em>"the author refers to the pitcher plan as follows: Pitcher plants are another quiet carnivore. The plants are long, pitcher-like tube shapes, with wide bottoms full of water to catch and digest their prey. Pitcher plants use different strategies to attract prey. Some give off sweet smells, while others produce nectar. Pitchers have been known to consume anything from insects to small lizards and rodents."</em>
In the excerpt "Trapped by a Predator," the author focuses more on his personal experience of how he became interested in Botanics and plants when as a child he was on a trip to Willington. North Carolina.
B. One of your troop members began to cry.
It doesn't explain why he is crying, and is the most suspenseful, but one could argue it was C, because they could have going the wrong direction, but B is the most suspenseful due to the crying and emotion in it.
Hope this helps, even though I just debated aloud.
