<p>Oh yes sorry, I forgot about the first one, but this quam was in the middle where they asked the 3 questions consecutively. (But I guess it's too hard to remember all that now. :) )</p>
<p>And what do the first two sentences of the Pompey passage tell you? something about them recognizing what not? like they've had previous meeting? (sorry, I don't remember the exact wording of the choices.)</p>
<p>oh. i dont know i said that cicero was concerned about the res publica too. haha oh man im so worried about this. what's the curve like?</p>
<p>Gn. Magnus Proconsul Salutem Dicit Ciceroni Imperatori</p>
<p>Si vales, bene est. Tuas litteras libenter legi; recognovi enim tuam pristinam virtutem etiam in salute communi. Consules ad eum exercitum venerunt quem in Apulia habui. Magnopere te hortor ut occasionem carpas et te ad nos conferas, ut communi consilio rei publicae miserae opem atque auxilium feramus. Moneo ut Roma exeas, via Appia iter facias, et quam celerrime Brundisium venias.</p>
<p>the test's version was edited/abridged a little.
i guess it was flattering, since everyone says it was. i guess the "i recognize your former virtue even in (matters of) common safety" didn't really hit me as flattery.</p>
<p>so was it all speak in the senate or all will speak (loquentur)</p>
<p>future (10 chars)</p>
<p>speak, isnt it? its the present passive form and its a deponent so..</p>
<p>Multa in eo viro praeclara cognovi; sed nihil admirabilius, quam quo modo ille mortem fili tulit clari viri et consularis. Est in manibus laudatio, quam cum legimus, quem philosophum non contemnimus? Nec vero ille in luce modo atque in oculis civium magnus, sed intus domique praestantior. Qui sermo, quae praecepta, quanta notitia antiquitatis, scientia iuris auguri! Multae etiam, ut in homine Romano, litterae. Omnia memoria tenebat, non domestica solum, sed etiam externa bella.</p>
<p>present would be loquuntur</p>
<p>i thought it was speak too</p>
<p>Rura meam, Cornute, tenent uillaeque puellam:
ferreus est, heu heu, quisquis in urbe manet.
ipsa Venus latos iam nunc migrauit in agros,
verbaque aratoris rustica discit Amor</p>
<p>On the last question of the whole test, was the answer literally Venus was learning how to plow?</p>
<p>No, I think was something about the countryside being the new setting for love. They said that Venus was moving to the countryside because love was plowing rustic words of the plowman. I took that metaphorically.</p>
<p>And loquentur is future, yes.</p>
<p>I thought the last line said Love learns the rustic words of the plow(man) and I guess I just took it too literally.</p>
<p>i agree with sunshine about the moving venus and the new setting.</p>
<p>what's the imperative singular of sequi?
sequi? (please)
what did you put down for the first question?</p>
<p>sequere, I think. Sorry.
Sequi is the infinitive since it's deponent.</p>
<p>i know - i hoped inf = imp for deponents. the rest sounded so ugly</p>
<p>This wasn't so bad, but the first passage was an atrocity. Admittedly, not as bad as the Physics, and in all not too hard, but hard.</p>
<p>Liked the poem though, that wasn't nearly as hard, having done a good bit of poetry studying in school.</p>
<p>oh shoot, i got so many wrong after looking through this thread. indeed, sequere is the imperative. these deponent verbs killed me (nolo, anyone?)</p>
<p>noluerim is subj perfect</p>
<p>nolo isn't deponent though.
Yeah, I messed that question up--I read it as present subj.</p>
<p>I'm not freaking out though. I'm saving all of my "freak-out" energy for Chemistry. AAAAHHHH!</p>
<p>Question... is rei republicae miserae dative or genitive?</p>
<p>And was "eum" that?</p>
