Answer: Terms that describe the underlined portion of the sentence ("who is running for mayor") are: <u>nonrestrictive</u> and<u> clause.</u>
Explanation:
- A clause is a grammar unit that, unlike a phrase, contains a verb and a subject. It is different from a sentence in that it does not convey a complete thought and does not make sense on its own. In this case, "who is running for mayor" is a<u> </u><u>relative clause. </u>
*An appositive is <u>a noun/noun phrase</u> which identifies another element in a sentence (typically another noun phrase). This is not the case here, as this construction is a relative clause and not a noun phrase.
- A nonrestrictive clause, also known as a nonessential clause, is a clause which provides details that are not essential for a sentence to make sense. In other words, the meaning of the sentence would remain the same without this clause - <em>Sayeed Johnson will be speaking at the city library tonight.

The common theme between the two excerpts is "humanity's helplessness against nature."
Explanation:
Both excerpts show how human beings are fragile and helpless when nature shows its strength. This can be perceived by the fact that the two excerpts show characters that are dominated by doubts, uncertainties and fear in the face of nature's power over them. This power that the human being is not able to control. Nature can tear down and scare even the strongest human, that's what excerpts want to pass on to the reader.
The language system is semantics. "Coke" v.s "Sprite." are two different words, so we are focusing on a word. When Anna paused, she was confused because to Melinda, A Coke means a Sprite in her vocabulary. She wanted to confirm the same meaning. Semantics involves a changing meaning depending on the person. She is visiting from Alabama, so the meanings may have chosen just like dialects. Thus, it cannot be phonology/morphology, syntax, or pragmatics.
