A.-ae
B.-i
C.-is
D.-us
Explanation: First declension nouns in Latin are characteristically feminine (with a few exceptions like 'nauta' or 'poeta') and end in '-ae' in the genitive singular (e.g., puella, puellae).

A.servis
B.servos
C.servi
D.servorum
Explanation: In the second declension masculine, the accusative plural ending is '-os', yielding 'servos'.

A.-i
B.-o
C.-e
D.-u
Explanation: Standard third declension consonant-stem nouns take '-e' in the ablative singular (e.g., rege). Neuter i-stems and adjectives of the 3rd declension take '-i'.
4What is the dative plural form of the fourth declension noun 'manus, manus' (f. hand)?
A.manuum
B.manus
C.manibus2
D.manibus
Explanation: Fourth declension nouns take '-ibus' in both dative and ablative plural, giving 'manibus'.

A.res
B.rerum
C.rebus
D.rei
Explanation: In the fifth declension, both the nominative singular and nominative/accusative plural are 'res'.

A.Dative of Indirect Object
B.Dative of Purpose in a Double Dative construction
C.Ablative of Manner
D.Ablative of Means
Explanation: 'auxilio' (for a help / as help) is a Dative of Purpose paired with 'oppidanis' (Dative of Reference), forming the classic Double Dative idiom ('soldiers were sent as help to the townsmen').
7Which sentence contains an Objective Genitive construction?
A.Domus regis in colle stabat.
B.Magna pars militum in pugna cecidit.
C.Amor patriae nos ad virtutem impellit.
D.Vir summae virtutis erat.
Explanation: In 'Amor patriae' (love of country), 'patriae' is the object of the emotional action implied by 'amor' (loving the country). This is an Objective Genitive.
8What grammatical requirement distinguishes an Ablative of Personal Agent from an Ablative of Means?
A.Means requires the preposition 'cum', whereas Personal Agent uses 'sine'.
B.Personal Agent must always be in the plural number.
C.Means can only be used with active voice verbs.
D.Personal Agent requires the preposition 'a' or 'ab', whereas Means takes no preposition.
Explanation: An Ablative of Personal Agent expresses the person by whom an action is performed and requires 'a/ab' with a passive verb. Ablative of Means expresses the instrument used and takes no preposition.

B.Romam (accusative form)
C.Roma (ablative form)

B.for many years (Accusative of Duration of Time)
