nonrestrictive means (of a relative clause or descriptive phrase) giving additional information about a noun phrase whose particular reference has already been specified.

Answer 5

it was my father

Answer 6

Hey, sorry. My phone died lol I was thinking it's the mall too :/ It's probably because it's an ambiguous choice of pronoun. "My" could refer to Jim or the speaker. Bummer. I would've picked the mall too, if it's any consolation lol
