<p>Hi, I can't figure out #18 in section 8 of the first test in the blue book on page 422. Can anyone help me? I know the answer's A because I checked the solutions but I don't know why. Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it; this is the only CR question I got wrong on the whole test and it's driving me crazy! Thanks.</p>
<p>Passage 1 suggests you can create your own identity (the guy who lies about who he is and where he's from because he can get away with it). Passage 2 shows that even though the narrator is away from where he started and is around rich people, he is still affected by his past and where he is from, hence external and internal factors. Hope this helped. Good luck, tomorrow!</p>
<p>Wow I'm really sorry I didn't see/reply to this sooner... thank you SO much in case you ever check this thread again! My internet connection broke before the SAT but at least now the question's not bugging me. Thanks!</p>
