Comment for various items
- #1
- Alternately, use ablative absolute
- #2 does not require the cum.
- # 3 must be nominative, and you haven't written a sentence.
- # 4 is not a complete sentence.
- # 5 is answered correctly, but quod is "because" for an entire clause, not the preposition "because," for which there are two choices (see p. 12 in text and make your answer accusative).
- #6 is fine, except that itaque is not necessary. You're answering, not quoting.
-
#7
-
