Answer 1

The underlined phrase "the meanest girl in the whole school" provides more information about Fran. Therefore, the best description of this phrase is:

D an appositive phrase to present more information about Fran.

An appositive phrase typically follows a noun and provides additional information about that noun. In this case, the phrase describes Fran.
