<p>Hmm. I wonder what I put, then, because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t personification. Yuck.</p>
<p>I stand by “reality.” In the passage, I remember it said “we were searching for something, a scent perhaps, that would add substance to its existence.”</p>
<p>How would a scent be useful? It might useful in tracking the elephant, but that has nothing to do with its existence.</p>
<p>^
i agree… the “scent” part definitely made “reality” seem more viable.</p>
<p>are you all sure that answer the analogy question is the ancient pottery and ball?</p>
<p>Alu and Mrs Verma were cousins because the father of Mrs Verma was Alu’s uncle.It was clearly mentioned in the passage .Why you still insist that the right answer was they both were raised by people who knew each other</p>
<p>I’m 150% sure the right answer is that they were raised by people who knew each other.</p>
<p>Alu’s uncle gave a book to Mrs. Verma’s father. Thus Alu’s uncle knows Verma’s father. Thus Alu and Verma are only related in that their guardians knew each other. I’m as positive as could be.</p>
<p>guys its like this
say my uncle knows your father (they were buddies in college)
would that make us cousins?
NO !!!</p>
<p>lol amby!!</p>
<p>^^ LOL maybe that’ll clear it up for some people.</p>
<p>yeah, it was 100% “they were raised by people who knew each other”</p>
<p>^^ Ditto
10 char</p>
<p>haha as a sidenote, I thought that passage was very odd. She picks up a book, starts crying, some chick laughs at her (in…RELIEF!) then starts spitting some psychobabble about books taking over her dad’s life, and…if you’re not careful, THEY’LL CONSUME YOU, TOO!!! RAWR!!! lolz</p>
<p>Alu is a guy… not “she” lol</p>
<p>o well
all of the passages reminded me of india… u had the indian people Alu and Verma, and then the double passages about Elephants hahaha</p>
<p>is collegeboard making a statment?</p>
<p>oh well, w/e, that didn’t affect any of the answers haha</p>
<p>OH YEAH. wow that’s totally true. The elephant one was so easy.</p>
<p>It was like “the elephant used the pebble to draw stuff!”
and then the question was like, “what does the author realize about the pebble? A: the elephant had used it to draw stuff!”</p>
<p>lolz</p>
<p>was the raised by people who knew each other the mutual friends one?</p>
<p>yeah. they didn’t have a mutual friend by any means.
They were raised by mutual friends haha</p>
<p>dang!..But how did we know that the two were raised by the friends?</p>
<p>That was the entire point of the passage, lol.</p>
<p>The microbiologist’s dad got his book signed by the narrator’s uncle. it was a very personal note (it said “to my friend”), so they obviously knew each other.</p>
<p>So alu was raised by his uncle? not his mom and dad? Like he is in Africa but he is Indian. He is a little kid who is in some far away place and he has no adult supervision. I thought that he was an orphan and that’s why he cries because he sees the book from someone from the family he never had…</p>
<p>^ that’s why you’re supposed to read the sidenote before the start of the passage ;)</p>
<p>It said these exact words “Alu was raised by his uncle.” lolz</p>
<p>sry to change topic but does anyone remember the question in the poetry passage where it asked why quotes were placed on “famous”? </p>
<p>what was that? i put that they revealed his true feelings on the topic (that he disproved of what they called famous)</p>
<p>btw this is entirely separate of the ironic question. this was right before/after it.</p>
