<p>so heca
you're saying the college board blue book is wrong?
then wat's the right answer then?
E-no error?</p>
<p>i think cjsathos has a good point. who seems to modify "handful" instead of "ethnographers"</p>
<p>None of use would have gotten this question wrong--we both agree the answer is C. Anyway, on further thought, I can kind of see why the answer should be "their lives." What it boils down to is whether he was a distinct one in the handful--that is, only he out of all ethnographers "comitted his life to studying the Tlingit culture"--or whether he was just one in a handful who comitted their lives to it. "One of a handful," I guess, suggests he was indistinct; if it were "one out of a handful," however, I believe it should be "his life." What a crappy sentence though..</p>
<p>For the record, "who" is modifying "handful," which is plural.</p>
<p>yeah, it is a crappy sentence and that's probably why it wasn't picked to make it onto a real test. no doubt that at this point (it is test 8 in the blue book) the CB was just throwing in whatever problems they had left so they could publish the book and start selling it. how many copies of that thing do you think have been sold by now? CB = non-profit....yeah right.</p>
<p>The most irritating thing ever is taking a test in the blue book that includes questions you've read and answered before, thus destroying the "authentic" factor of your test (I swear...I've read the passage about June, her mother, and her jaded necklace AT LEAST 3 times in all of these CB SAT books).</p>
<p>lol that huh? they still use it? that was on like the 1996 real SAT lol. the story from joyluck club lol</p>
