So he could continue to dribble the ball after he throws the pass, but NOT pick it up then start dribbling again?

Correct -- assuming the "pass attempt" hit the floor first, and that A1 released the pass while his / her pivot foot was still on the floor.

IF the pivot foot was off the floor, then it became an illegal dribble.

If the pass was still in the air when A1 retrieved it (not likely), then it's a travelling violation on A1 (assuming A1 moved his pivot foot to re-catch the ball)

that would be correct -
the pass (throwing the ball toward the floor) begins the dribble - so as long as s/he continues that process of dribbling everything is fine. If s/he picks up the ball the the dribble is over and all rights associated with it end also.

All I can think of on this one is that they when they said "A pick-up the ball......and dribbles," (yes, pick-up is exactly what was written) this was supposed to mean A-resumed his dribble, "picks up" where he left off, if you will. Not sure which is worse, to word it this badly, or to not know this rule.
