1In the sentence "Urbe capta, cives ex oppido fugerunt", what is the function of "urbe capta"?
A.An ablative absolute describing the attendant circumstance (after the city had been captured)
B.An ablative of place where, telling where the citizens were
C.An ablative of agent, telling who captured the city
D.An ablative of means, telling what the citizens used to flee
Explanation: "Urbe capta" is an ablative absolute: a noun (urbe) plus a perfect passive participle (capta) in the ablative, grammatically independent of the main clause. It sets the temporal or causal frame — "after/because the city had been captured". The ablative absolute is one of the most frequent constructions in Abitur-level texts and must be recognized before translating.
2"Dicit hostes mox venturos esse." What construction is "hostes ... venturos esse"?
A.An ablative absolute marking the enemy's arrival
B.An accusativus cum infinitivo (AcI) expressing indirect statement
C.A relative clause with the relative pronoun omitted
D.A purpose clause introduced by an implied ut
Explanation: After verbs of saying, thinking, and perceiving, Latin uses the AcI: the subject of the reported statement goes into the accusative (hostes) and the verb into the infinitive (venturos esse, future infinitive). In German this becomes a "dass"-clause: "Er sagt, dass die Feinde bald kommen werden."
3Which of the following forms is a locative meaning "in Rome / at Rome"?
A.Romae
B.Romam
C.Romā
D.Roma
Explanation: Romae is the locative of Roma, used without a preposition to mean "in Rome". Names of cities and small islands, plus domus, humus, and rus, use the locative instead of "in" + ablative. For first-declension singular names the locative looks like the genitive (-ae).
4In "ars scribendi" ("the art of writing"), what kind of form is "scribendi"?
A.A present active participle agreeing with ars
B.A gerundive (future passive participle) modifying ars
C.A gerund in the genitive case
D.A supine expressing purpose
Explanation: Scribendi is the gerund: a verbal noun formed from the present stem + -nd- with the endings -i, -o, -um, -o. In the genitive it depends on ars — "the art of writing". Unlike the gerundive, the gerund has no nominative and never agrees with a noun as an adjective.
5"Cum Caesar advenisset, hostes fugerunt." Why is the verb "advenisset" in the subjunctive?
A.Because it expresses an unattainable wish
B.Because a temporal cum-clause in past narration regularly takes the (imperfect or pluperfect) subjunctive
C.Because the clause expresses purpose
D.Because the subjunctive is obligatory after every subordinating conjunction
Explanation: In past-time narrative, a temporal cum-clause ("when") takes the imperfect or pluperfect subjunctive — here the pluperfect advenisset, "when Caesar had arrived". This is the so-called cum temporale in secondary sequence and is part of the consecutio temporum system.
6"Rogo, quid facias." ("I ask what you are doing.") Why is "facias" in the present subjunctive?
A.It is an indirect question in primary sequence, which requires the subjunctive
B.It expresses a polite command
C.It is a potential subjunctive expressing possibility
D.It marks a wish for the future
Explanation: Quid facias is an indirect question depending on rogo, and indirect questions always take the subjunctive. Because the main verb rogo is primary sequence (present), the present subjunctive facias expresses simultaneous action according to the consecutio temporum.
7Which grammatical interpretations can the form "servī" (from servus) have?
A.Genitive singular and nominative plural
B.Dative singular and accusative plural
C.Ablative singular and genitive plural
D.Vocative singular and dative plural
Explanation: In the o-declension, the ending -ī is ambiguous: servī can be genitive singular ("of the slave") or nominative plural ("the slaves"). Only context — for example whether a singular or plural verb follows — decides. This kind of ambiguity must be resolved before translating.
8"Me duce, hostes vincentur." ("With me as leader, the enemy will be defeated.") What is "me duce" grammatically?
A.An ablative of agent, because the speaker performs the action
B.An ablative of manner with an implied cum
C.An ablative absolute consisting of a pronoun and a noun, without a participle
D.A dative of advantage referring to the speaker
Explanation: Me duce is an ablative absolute without a participle: Latin can juxtapose two nouns (or a pronoun and a noun) in the ablative, with the participle "being" understood — "me being the leader". The same pattern appears in phrases like Cicerone consule ("in Cicero's consulship").
9What does Cato's famous phrase "Carthago delenda est" literally express?
A.Carthage will be destroyed (future passive)
B.Carthage must be destroyed (obligation, gerundive with esse)
C.Carthage was destroyed (perfect passive)
D.Carthage is being destroyed (present passive)
Explanation: Delenda est is the passive periphrastic: the gerundive (delenda) plus esse expresses necessity or obligation — "Carthage must be destroyed". The person who must act would stand in the dative (dative of agent), as in mihi scribendum est, "I must write".
10"Dixit se epistulam scripsisse." What does the perfect infinitive "scripsisse" tell us about the time of the writing?
A.The writing was already completed before the moment of speaking
B.The writing was happening at the same time as the speaking
C.The writing would happen after the speaking
D.The infinitive gives no temporal information in an AcI
Explanation: In an AcI the infinitive tense is relative to the main verb: the perfect infinitive (scripsisse) marks an action completed before the main verb — "He said that he had written the letter". The present infinitive would mark simultaneity (se scribere), the future infinitive posteriority (se scripturum esse).
