    Indirect questions ...

    • A referred to, but not asked directly

    • Require a "brain" verb after the indirect question clause

    • Are asked directly

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A referred to, but not asked directly
    Explanation
    Indirect questions are referred to, but not asked directly. This means that instead of asking the question directly, the speaker refers to the question indirectly. For example, instead of asking "What time is it?" directly, the speaker might say "Do you know what time it is?" In indirect questions, a "brain" verb is required after the indirect question clause. This is because the speaker is seeking information or knowledge from the listener. Therefore, the correct answer is that indirect questions are referred to, but not asked directly.

    • I have known no one more careless than you.

    Correct Answer
    A. I have known no one more careless than you.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I have known no one more careless than you." This is the correct answer because the Latin phrase "nēminem neglentiōrem quam tē nōvī" translates to "I have known no one more careless than you." The phrase "tē" refers to the second person singular pronoun "you," so the correct translation should use "you" instead of "he."

    A. Rūrsus
    Explanation
    The Latin word "rūrsus" is the correct translation for "again". The other options provided do not have the same meaning. "ōs" means "mouth", "extrā" means "outside", and "dēsinō" means "to cease". Therefore, the correct answer is "rūrsus".

    Correct Answer
    A. Modestus, having stepped out of the kitchen where he had eaten a very good dinner, was returning to prison.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Modestus, having stepped out of the kitchen where he had eaten a very good dinner, was returning to prison." This answer accurately translates the Latin sentence by correctly using the verb "had eaten" to indicate that Modestus had finished his dinner before leaving the kitchen. Additionally, it uses the phrase "stepped out of" to convey the action of Modestus leaving the kitchen. The mention of a "very good dinner" also accurately reflects the Latin phrase "cēnam optimam."
