cuius - genitive

qua - ablative of means

servus - masculine, antecedent must be feminine

qui - it is an interrogative adjective and a relative pronoun; quis is the interrogative pronoun. Kind of dirty, that one.

To which men (quibus viris, both dative plural) did they give (dederunt) the money (pecuniam)

Choose the correct form of the relative pronoun for the following sentence: "The boy whose book I have is a friend."

1) cuius

> whose = of who = of the boy = GEN.



Question 9

Choose the correct form of the relative pronoun for the following sentence: "The leader did not seek the fame by which he won the election."

3) qua

by which, with which etc: indirect cases > ABL.





Question 16

Which noun could NOT be the antecedent for the pronoun QUAM?

3) servus

come on, mate, quam is feminine, you had to pick the one masculine word!



I'll leave the last ones for you, they're really easy. I'm sure there's an example in your book that's similar.
