Choose the correct answer from the options below.

__________ est Flavia?

Quis

Quid

Quo

Quam

Quae

Explanation

The correct answer is "quis", meaning "who" or "what." The sentence translates to "Who is Flavia?" It should be remembered that the verb "to be" takes the nominative and not the accusative, thus eliminating all the other options, except for "quid" which is neuter and not used for people, and "quae" which is plural.

Translate the English in quotes to the correct Latin option.

"This town" is large.

hoc oppidum

hic oppidum

haec oppidum

huic oppidum

hunc oppidum

Explanation

The noun oppidum is neuter and in this case is in the nominative singular. The correct demonstrative pronoun that agrees with a neuter nominative singular noun is hoc.
