Answer

Brief Explanations:

The task is to improve sentences by replacing weak phrases with strong, active verbs. For "slowly approached the curb", a stronger verb - based replacement could be "sidled up to the curb". For "I was embarrassed", "My face flushed bright red" is a more vivid and active way to convey the feeling as it describes a physical reaction associated with embarrassment.

Answer:

For "slowly approached the curb": sidled up to the curb For "I was embarrassed": My face flushed bright red
