In the narrative <em>"Does My Head Look Big in This?"</em> by Randa Abdel-Fattah, the narrative tone reveals a unique perspective: The narrator’s frustration helps readers understand what it is like to be a teenager.
In the story, the narrator, Amal, who decides to wear the hijab full-time, clearly states how frustrated she feels with society's expectation. Phrases like <em>"I'm </em><em>sick of obsessing</em><em> about my body, what guys are going to think about my cleavage and calves and shoulder-to-hip ratio"</em> and <em>"I am really </em><em>sick of worrying</em><em> what people are going to think if I put on a few pounds or have a pimple." </em>are clear examples of the stress teenager go through in highschool, specially girls (and even more so if they have different traditions from the other girls, like Amal with her hijab.)

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 correct options are "determining the central idea of the text"; "looking for facts and examples"; "considering all the evidence" and " finding repeated words and phrases".
In the process of citing supporting details it is necessary to have the central idea of the text in mind so as to make sure the quotations are connected to the text. Since the purpose of citing is to support ideas, you need to find examples and specific facts, and to evaluate their appropiatness and connection to the text. Some repetition within the text is necessary as well because it helps you establish the connection between the citation and the text, so as to help the reader follow the text easily
