The correct changes that need to be made are:
1. Change "it was only a problem..." to "It was only a problem..."
2. No change is required for "Mr. Taylor" (it should remain capitalized).
3. Change "parents" to "Parents."
The second option ("Change 'Mr. Taylor' to 'Mr. taylor.'") is incorrect because "Taylor" should remain capitalized. Therefore, the most appropriate response is:
Change “it was only a problem…” to “It was only a problem…” and change “parents” to “Parents.”
