To provide a suggested correction to the reflection over the y-axis, we need to consider how reflections work. A reflection over the y-axis inverts the x-coordinates of points while keeping the y-coordinates the same.

If your friend’s reflected figure does not appear correct, it might mean that an additional transformation is needed. Possible issues could include:

- If the figure is misaligned vertically or horizontally, a shift up or down, or left or right could be appropriate.
- If the figure looks correctly reflected but is not in the right position, then a shift in the x or y direction may be necessary.

Without seeing the actual figure, it’s impossible to determine exactly how to correct the reflection. However, if you notice that the figure needs to be moved in one of these directions based on its appearance, you can choose the corresponding option listed.

Ultimately, the suggestion should be based on your observation of how the figure looks in relation to the intended reflection. If you need to provide a general method for correction and have specific details about the figure, that would be helpful to give a more precise answer.
