Excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This?:

I’m terrified. But at the same time I feel like my passion and conviction in Islam are bursting inside me and I want to prove to myself that I’m strong enough to wear a badge of my faith. I believe it will make me feel so close to God. Because it’s pretty hard to walk around with people staring at your "towel-head” and not feel kind of pleased with yourself if you manage to get through the stares and comments with your head held high. That’s when this warm feeling buzzes through you and you smile to yourself, knowing God’s watching you, knowing that He knows you’re trying to be strong and please Him.

Excerpt from Persepolis:

5 panels from the graphic novel Persepolis. Marjane deep down thinks she is very religious. She was born into religion, and when she was 6, she thought she was the last prophet. The last two panels show her as the last prophet meeting the previous prophets. The other prophets looked surprised that she is a woman.

Only two of the choices accurately describe both narrators:

- Both narrators possess pride in their faith. (Yes — the first narrator feels proud to wear a “badge of my faith” and Marjane imagines herself as a prophet, which shows pride in her religiosity.)
- Both narrators have a deep faith in God. (Yes — both excerpts emphasize sincere, deep religious feeling.)

The other options are not shared by both: only Marjane imagines herself a prophet, the first narrator is focused on wearing a head covering while the Persepolis excerpt says nothing about the veil, and neither excerpt indicates a desire to be involved in politics.
