54. What does 'reminded of' mean, do you think?

It means it evokes a memory.

How does someone know that event B, occurring now, is 'like' event A which occurred in the past?

Because something about B evokes the memory of A.

Two events need not be anywhere near identical for one to remind of or be like another, and Veganwitch didn't try to claim they were, she said that the Dean presence raised unwelcome emotions that reminded her of the clinic experience.

Sheesh! Can't you be less madly partisan?
