- The detail in the passage that provides a clue to the meaning of the French word is:
"I just got invited to three different birthday parties!"
This shows us what the reason is for Ava's sister to call her populaire. She got invited to three different birthday parties, which means that there is a lot of people who like to spend time with Ava. In other words, she is very popular.
- The six letters that appear without interruption in both populaire and the English cognate for the word (popular) are: p-o-p-u-l-a
