Holy Shmoop, Batman... we have another question for you...

00:06

You might've read this already, but just hit pause if you want to check it out again...

00:30

What happens to the caul with which the narrator is born?

00:35

And here are some potential answers...

00:40

If we don't remember the answer to this one, all we've got to do is go back and

00:43

read through the passage quickly.

00:46

We have to make sure we read thoroughly, though, because there might be some tricky choices here.

00:53

If we found this sentence...

00:55

Then we know that the answer has to be A. It outright says that an old lady won the

01:01

caul, so there you go, you're done!

01:05

Let's zoom through the other answers, though,just to see why they're wrong.

01:11

B might fool us because the caul was once advertised and not sold.

01:16

The lady came along a few years later and bought it, though, so B is wrong.

01:20

C is just totally incorrect. The passage never says anything about the mother keeping it.

01:26

D is another tricky one, because an attorney did almost buy it.

01:31

So, there you have it. A it is. As in "Are you wondering what a caul is?"

01:37

There, think about that for the rest of the day.
