1What is the genitive singular of the second-declension noun ὁ λόγος?
A.λόγῳ
B.λόγου
C.λόγον
D.λόγε
Explanation: Second-declension (o-stem) masculines like λόγος form the genitive singular with the ending -ου, giving λόγου ('of a word/speech'). This is one of the most frequent declension patterns in Attic prose.
2What is the accusative plural of the first-declension noun ἡ τιμή ('honour')?
A.τιμαῖς
B.τιμήν
C.τιμάς
D.τιμῶν
Explanation: First-declension feminines in -ή keep η throughout the singular, but the accusative plural ending is -ᾰς (short alpha), giving τιμάς. Note the circumflex on τιμαῖς belongs to the dative plural, a common confusion.
3What is the correct Attic genitive singular of ἡ πόλις ('city')?
A.πόλεως
B.πόλιος
C.πόλις
D.πόλειος
Explanation: Third-declension i-stems like πόλις have genitive singular πόλεως in Attic, with the characteristic -εως ending (from quantitative metathesis of -ηος). This pattern recurs constantly in Thucydides.
4What is the accusative singular of ὁ βασιλεύς ('king')?
A.βασιλῆ
B.βασιλέως
C.βασιλεῖ
D.βασιλέα
Explanation: Nouns in -εύς form the accusative singular in -έα: βασιλέα. The whole paradigm (βασιλεύς, βασιλέως, βασιλεῖ, βασιλέα, βασιλεῦ) shows the quantitative metathesis typical of Attic.
5What is the dative plural of ὁ πατήρ ('father')?
A.πατράσι(ν)
B.πατέρων
C.πατέρας
D.πατρί
Explanation: πατήρ is an r-stem noun with a 'swollen' stem πατερ- and a weak stem πατρ-. The dative plural uses the weak stem plus -σι(ν): πατράσι(ν). Compare μητράσι and θυγατράσι, which follow the same pattern.
6What is the genitive singular of ἡ χείρ ('hand')?
A.χερί
B.χερσίν
C.χειρός
D.χεῖρα
Explanation: χείρ declines as a third-declension noun with genitive singular χειρός. The dative plural χερσί(ν) shows the stem alternation, but the genitive singular keeps the full diphthong.
7In the sentence ὁ Κῦρος ἦρχε τῶν βαρβάρων ('Cyrus ruled the barbarians'), why is τῶν βαρβάρων in the genitive?
A.Verbs of ruling and leading, like ἄρχω, govern the genitive
B.It is a possessive genitive depending on Κῦρος
C.It is a genitive of time within which
D.It is a genitive absolute
Explanation: ἄρχω in the sense 'rule, command' takes a genitive object: Cyrus rules over the barbarians. Other verbs of this class include βασιλεύω and κρατέω. Recognising verb-government of cases is a core syntax skill for the paper.
8The form ἀληθεῖς, from the adjective ἀληθής ('true'), is best identified as:
A.accusative singular masculine
B.genitive singular
C.dative plural
D.nominative plural masculine
Explanation: Adjectives in -ής, -ές (s-stems) like ἀληθής have nominative plural ἀληθεῖς (contracted from ἀληθέες). The same form serves as accusative plural, but among the options given only nominative plural is correct.
9What is the regular comparative of the adjective εὐδαίμων ('fortunate, happy')?
A.εὐδαιμονώτερος
B.εὐδαιμονέστερος
C.εὐδαίμονως
D.εὐδαιμονέστατος
Explanation: Adjectives in -ων, -ον form the comparative with -έστερος: εὐδαιμονέστερος ('more fortunate'). The stem loses its nu before the suffix, and the superlative follows the same pattern: εὐδαιμονέστατος.
10Which of the following is a superlative form of κακός ('bad')?
A.κακίων
B.κάκιον
C.κάκιστος
D.χείρων
Explanation: κακός has the irregular comparison κακίων / κάκιστος (alongside χείρων / χείριστος and ἥσσων / ἥκιστος). κάκιστος is therefore a genuine superlative: 'worst'. These suppletive comparisons are standard memorisation for the exam.
