Answer from: abhibhambhani

The terms that most likely define the underlined part("who is running for mayor") of the given sentence would be:

b). Clause

c). Non-restrictive

A clause is defined as the grammatical element that involves a verb along with a subject in it. However, a clause may or may not provide a complete or accomplished thought. In this sentence, 'who...mayor' exemplifies a 'non-restrictive' and relative clause as it offers an incomplete thought, and removing it will not affect the basic meaning of the sentence.

Thus, options b and c are the correct answers.

Answer from: jordynj6363

Terms that describe the underlined portion of the sentence ("who is running for mayor") are: nonrestrictive and clause.

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 relative clause.

*An appositive is a noun/noun phrase 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 - Sayeed Johnson will be speaking at the city library tonight.

Answer from: Quest

the author is intending to draw attention to the plight of refugees, editorial and biography support this. both workpieces make the reader empathize with enrique as well as with the other young migrants from central america. the writer, however, is using a different approach to each text.

the editorial includes strong words to persuade readers. he is trying hard to convince readers in the us to change its refugee approach.

the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language which the writer uses wisely in the setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.
