  It feels as if you’re halfway there, Carla, but you haven’t quite captured the whole sentence…

    Well, the expression “to figure out a solution” is correct, but now you need to make it work within the sentence. Put a comma after ‘Tommy’ and then break the surname into two words ‘hil’ and figure’. How can you make that first part work within the sentence: ‘hil’?
    
    “Take all your problems to Tommy, __________ figure something out.”

        Have you ‘figured out’ what to put in the gap, Carla?
