Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah.

I hate the fact that I had to leave Hidaya. But it only goes up to tenth grade because it doesn't have enough funding to offer eleventh and twelfth grades. My best friends, Leila Okulgen and Yasmeen Khan, moved on to a public high school close to Coburg, where they live. I begged my parents to let me go with them but Mom and Dad insisted that I go to a private school.

What is the narrator’s tone in this passage?

nostalgic
nervous
resentful
conflicted

resentful

The narrator uses strong negative language ("I hate the fact...," "I begged") expressing frustration and bitterness about being forced to leave her school and not being allowed to attend the same school as her friends.
