Who is The Which?

• A. She is Faintly Macabre, King Azaz's great aunt who eliminated words and was imprisoned.
• B. She is Rhyme's sister who loves numbers.
• C. She is a librarian who guards the doors of Dictionopolis.
• D. She is a traveler who collects phrases.

Answer: (B)

The Which is a character who embodies numbers and counting, and she is described as Rhyme’s sister. That connection to numbers fits the description of “Rhyme’s sister who loves numbers,” making it the best match. The other descriptions point to different figures in the story—someone who eliminates words and is imprisoned, a librarian guarding the doors of Dictionopolis, or a traveler who collects phrases—none of which are The Which. So, The Which is the sister of Rhyme who has a love for numbers.
