When I first started at Hidaya I hated wearing the hijab. I found it itchy and I absolutely despised wearing it during gym class

. I also thought it looked awful on me and in the first two weeks I was always styling my bangs and letting them out at the front so that everybody knew I had nice hair. Talk about being insecure. But then I got to know the other kids and it no longer felt awkward. I got used to it and I met girls who were wearing it full-time outside of school, like, voluntarily, and I started to really respect their courage. I was even a bit jealous because there I would be, ripping it off as soon as I was off school property, and there they would be, calmly and proudly stepping onto a train filled with students from schools all over without so much as a hint of fear or doubt. They looked so at peace with their identity and everybody got to know and respect them on their own terms.

I would say the answer is D.
This is because of the way she talks about how she is uncomfortable with the hijab in the begging but releases that idea. Instead she goes into a more “I want to be as comfortable as those girls” idea and the story/excerpt tends to follow that idea until the end of it. Also the central ideas seem to be revealed at ends of stories for example she even states, “I was even a bit jealous” and “They looked so at peace with their identity and everybody got to know and respect them of their own terms.” Which implies she wants to have that sense of comfort in herself that she doesn’t have unlike the other girls.
Hope this helped!! :)

The gulf stream and global warming reading passage answers ?
Bumek [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the article or the link to access it. Without that information, we do not know specifically what you are referring to.

However, trying to help, we can comment on the following terms.

There is an article titled <em>"Slowing Gulf Stream Current to Boost Warming for 20 Years,"</em> written by Matt McGrath on July 19, 2018, that exposes the concerns of environmental scientists about the issue of how the gulf stream is slowing down and the effects this could have in the short and medium terms.

One of the consequences of this phenomenon could be the cooling of Europe and other parts of the world in a relatively short period. Scientists think that this situation and the melting of the ice caps in the North Pole will add to the severity of the cooling of the world, and the consequences for humans.
