1 Which conjunctions can introduce a purpose clause? Select all that apply ἵνα καθώς ὥστε ὅπως ὥσπερ
ἵνα (Mark 7:9), ὥστε (Matt 10:1), and ὅπως (Acts 9:12) all introduce purpose clauses; καθώς and ὥσπερ are comparative particles.
2 Which of these are uses of the genitive? Select all that apply Age Introducing an exclamative A fraction of a whole Location near something Negating the smallest degree
The genitive is used for age (Luke 2:42), a fraction of a whole (Rev 8:7), and location (Matt 26:36), besides the uses already covered.
3 In οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ (John 8:44), the devil remains the topic while the existence of any truth in him is negated. True or false True False
This is existential negation ('there is no truth in him'), not predicate negation, because the devil, not truth, is the topic.
4 In τὰ δὲ λοιπὰ ὡς ἂν ἔλθω διατάξομαι (1 Cor 11:34), what does ὡς ἄν refer to? A past habitual event A counterfactual condition A hypothetical future event ('whenever') A purpose
In temporal clauses, ἄν is used with ὡς and ἕως to refer to a future event: 'whenever I come.'
5 In καθὼς αὐτὸς Χριστοῦ , οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς (2 Cor 10:7), what does καθώς equate? Two manners Two amounts The truth of two assertions Two times
Here the truth-values of the two propositions are equated rather than the nature of their contents.
6 In ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων ὥστε ἐκβάλλειν αὐτά (Matt 10:1), what allows ὥστε to express an intended result? The deontic modal word ἐξουσία The aorist tense of ἔδωκεν The genitive πνευμάτων The neuter pronoun αὐτά
Intended-result ὥστε usually has a modal element nearby; ἐξουσία lets ὥστε specify the kind of authority, namely to cast them out.
7 Why does τῷ δακτύλῳ αὐτῶν οὐ θέλουσιν κινῆσαι αὐτά (Matt 23:4) express strong negation? Because οὐ precedes a single constituent Because negating the smallest means of moving negates all bigger ones Because it negates the existence of the burdens Because a negative concord item follows the verb
κινεῖ τῷ δακτύλῳ is an NPI: if they won't move a finger, they certainly won't lift the burden themselves.
8 According to the principle of compositionality, why does ὡς have more uses than καθώς , ὡσεί , and ὥσπερ ? ὡς is the most recent particleὡς can take any moodὡς is used only in the NTThe others contain ὡς plus a morpheme that restricts its meaning
All the comparative particles contain ὡς , so adding another functional morpheme is expected to restrict ὡς' s meaning.
9 The phrase ἄν τι αἰτήσητε (John 16:23) refers to a single specific thing that will be asked for. True or false True False
With τὶ , ἄν yields a universal interpretation, 'whatever you ask,' referring to all hypothetical things that would be asked for.
