Vergil, Aeneid Books 4, 6, 7, 11 & 12 unit test

A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3

Each paper is built from this unit’s 48 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 5, Paper 2” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.

SHORT ANSWER AND INTERPRETATION: VERGIL (Question 3, 2026 format). The defeated Turnus speaks to Aeneas: "Equidem merui nec deprecor" inquit; "utere sorte tua. Miseri te si qua parentis tangere cura potest, oro (fuit et tibi talis Anchises genitor), Dauni miserere senectae et me, seu corpus spoliatum lumine mavis, redde meis. Vicisti et victum tendere palmas Ausonii videre; tua est Lavinia coniunx, ulterius ne tende odiis." — Aeneid 12.931–938 Answer in English unless a question asks for Latin.

A. (i) Describe Turnus’s attitude toward his own situation. (ii) Provide the Latin word(s) that support your answer. (iii) Translate in context the Latin you cited.

B. Identify one way Turnus tries to motivate Aeneas to show restraint, and explain how this appeal is made in the passage (3–4 sentences, with at least one multi-word Latin citation translated or paraphrased, and an explanation of how it supports your response).
