- Based on the text: In hortō quietō domina sedet, librum tenēns, dum serva aquam in vas parvum fundit. Arbor alta umbram dēnsam facit, et avis dulcis canit. Domina, fēmina docta, puerum vocat, qui prope lūdit cum cane fidēlī. "Hūc veni," inquit, "et hanc fabulam audi." Puer laetus accedit, sed oculōs ad flōrēs variōs vertit; eōs enim dīligit. Domina narrat de herōe antiquo, quī per mare longum nāvigāvit et multa perīcula vīdit. Illa dicit eum fortem fuisse, sed etiam misericordem, quod hostibus victīs parcere soleret. Puer rogāt cūr herōs parcāt; domina respondet virtūtem veram in animō esse, nōn in saevitiā. Interim serva, cuius manus celerēs sunt, poma mātūra colligit et in mēnsā pōnit. Domina puero unum pōmum dat, et ille grātias agit. Postea, cum sōl paulatim cadit, puer domum it, et domina librum claudit.

- How does the pronoun his relate to its antecedent in the passage? Describit agricola villam: "In valle quieta est villa mea. Ante ianuam stat arbor alta, et sub ea sedet puella parva, cui in manu est rosa rubra. Pater eius, vir bonus, in agro laborat; is servos paucos, sed fortes, vocat, ut frumentum maturum colligant. Ego saepe video equum nigrum per viam longam currere; illum puer meus sequitur, sed eum capere non potest. In domo sunt multi libri antiqui, quos avus meus reliquit; ex his ego verba clara disco. Mater, femina prudens, pueros nostros docet: "haec officia vestra sunt; si ea facitis, domus tota laeta erit." Post meridiem, cum sol calidus descendit, nos ad fontem frigidum imus, ibique manus nostras lavamus. Tum canis fidelis ad nos venit et nobis gaudium parvum affert. Nocte autem, sub caelo sereno, audio voces longinquas; mihi videtur eos deos esse, qui nostram villam custodiant. Mane novo, cum aura levis spirat, video in horto flores novos; eos puella parva carpit et matri suae dat. Sic vita nostra, quamquam simplex, tamen plena est spei bonae." Translation: "From these I learn clear words."
