1 Which of these serve as intensifier possessive pronouns? Select all that apply ἡμέτερος τοιοῦτος σός ὑμέτερος πόσος
ἐμός , σός , ἡμέτερος , and ὑμέτερος are the intensifier possessive pronouns; τοιοῦτος is a pronoun meaning 'such' and πόσος a question word.
2 Which uses can μέχρι have? Select all that apply Temporal extent Duration of an event Spatial extent Degree extent Connecting two overlapping eventualities
μέχρι is temporal (Matt 11:23), spatial (Rom 15:19), and degree (2 Tim 2:9); duration belongs to ἄχρι and overlap to ἕως .
3 In καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμὰ σά ἐστιν (Luke 15:31), σά lacks the article because it is the predicate of a copula clause. True or false True False
Intensifier possessive pronouns always take the article except when the pronoun itself is the predicate of a copula clause.
4 In Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου (Col 4:18), what implicit alternative does ἐμῇ negate? The hand of a potential scribe The hands of the Colossians The hand of God The hands of the other apostles
Writing with a scribe would be the default, so ἐμῇ signals the surprising fact that Paul wrote with his own hand.
5 How does the lesson ultimately describe what ὥσπερ compares? Only two manners of action Two eventualities, whether states or events Two amounts The truth of two assertions
Because ὥσπερ can compare states that lack a manner (Matt 12:40), it compares eventualities: the manner for events, the kind of state for states.
6 Which Luo use refers to the pre-stage of a scheduled eventuality? Historical present Iterative Futurate Generics
The futurate refers to the pre-stage of a scheduled eventuality; the pre-stage use refers to a decided eventuality.
7 Why are ἄχρι and μέχρι often followed by the relative pronoun οὗ when used with a verb? They are more readily prepositions, and οὗ is a nominal element introducing the clause They require the genitive of time οὗ marks the endpoint of a spatial extentοὗ turns them into comparative particles
The use of οὗ shows that these words are more readily used as prepositions, since οὗ is a nominal element that introduces the following clause.
8 In ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ γῆς χοϊκός , ὁ δεύτερος ἄνθρωπος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ (1 Cor 15:47), what is the comparison set for πρῶτος ? Adam and Jesus only The entire human race All the apostles All heavenly beings
Jesus is called the 'second man,' which would be false if the whole human race were ordered, so the set consists only of Adam and Jesus.
9 What does the lesson say is the most important factor behind the variety of Luo interpretations? Variation in the type of eventuality Shifting of the temporal anchor The presence of adverbs The person and number of the verb
Variation in eventuality type accounts for most uses; TA shifting is a different, rhetorically motivated phenomenon.
