A.Indirect Question
B.Direct Command
C.Relative Clause of Characteristic

A.Cum Historicum (Temporal-Causal Cum with Subjunctive)
B.Cum Inversum with Indicative

C.It is a condition contrary to fact
D.It is an impersonal passive verb
Explanation: When a relative clause replaces an 'ut' purpose clause ('sent envoys WHO SHOULD seek peace'), the relative pronoun 'qui' takes a subjunctive verb ('peterent').
9What is the difference in Latin syntax between 'Urbs ab hostibus defenditur' and 'Urbs muro defenditur'?
A.'ab hostibus' is Ablative of Personal Agent (with a/ab); 'muro' is Ablative of Means (without preposition)
B.'ab hostibus' is Ablative Absolute; 'muro' is Dative of Agent
C.'ab hostibus' is Accusative of Motion; 'muro' is Genitive of Possession
D.Both are Ablatives of Manner requiring the preposition 'cum'
Explanation: Personal agents with passive verbs take 'a/ab' + ablative ('ab hostibus'), while inanimate instruments or means take the ablative case without a preposition ('muro').

A.That / Lest ('I fear THAT the enemy may capture the city')
B.That... not ('I fear that the enemy WILL NOT capture the city')
C.If ('I fear if the enemy captures the city')
D.Because ('I fear because the enemy captured the city')
Explanation: After verbs of fearing ('timeo', 'vereor'), 'ne' introduces what is feared WILL happen ('that / lest'), while 'ut' (or 'ne non') introduces what is feared WILL NOT happen.
