Latin II: Spring, 1995
The University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Rob S. Rice
Semester Exam, 5/2/96


You have two hours to complete this exam, which you shouldn't need. Write your answers in the bluebooks provided, LEAVING ME ROOM TO MAKE CORRECTIONS! As always, understanding is more important than the exact label used for a given construction.

BEFORE YOU TRANSLATE:
DIVIDE the sentence into its component phrases and clauses!
IDENTIFY each finite verb, tense, mood, voice, person and number
. ACCEPT what your knowledge of forms tells you! ACTIVE is NOT PASSIVE! SINGULAR is NOT PLURAL.
FIND the SUBJECT, VERB and OBJECT of each independent construction.

Part 2: A reading passage (30 points).


Cicero's former client wants to buy a Jaguar, and Cicero tells him he's doing the best he can.


Desine quaerere de pantheris; jussu meo diligenter agitatur ab eis venari solent; sed permagna paucitas est, et eae, quae vere sunt, dicuntur queri quod nihil cuiquam insidiarum in mea provincia nisi sibi fiat. Itaque plurimae, ut quidam credunt, in Carian ex hac regione horrida se receipere constituerunt.

Vocabulary:

panthera, -ae, 'panther,' here leopards

queror, queri, questus sum, 'lament, complain.' DO NOT confuse with 'quaero, quaerere, quaesivi, quaesitus, 'look for, seek after, nag.'
