Final answer:

The informal part of the sentence to be changed is 'all my peeps'. It should be replaced with a formal term like 'friends'. Proper punctuation and apostrophe usage is also crucial in formal writing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The part of the sentence that is informal and needs to be changed is "all my peeps". 'Peeps' is an informal term for friends or people, and in a formal context, it should be replaced with a more appropriate term such as 'friends', 'family', or 'classmates' depending on what the student is referring to. Adjusting this to a more formal equivalent will improve the sentence for academic or professional use.

Regarding the review questions provided for punctuation and apostrophe use:

  • Missing commas should be added after introductory phrases and before coordinating conjunctions when they connect two independent clauses.
  • Unnecessary commas should be omitted if they are separating a verb from its direct object or connected to a subordinate clause that does not precede the main clause.
  • Apostrophes are used to indicate possession or contraction and should be placed appropriately to convey the correct meaning.
