Can someone help me with these Latin true or false questions?

Daphne and Apollo


Daphne (nom. sing.) erat nympha silvarum. Pater (father, nom. sing.) Daphnis (gen. sing.) erat Peneus, deus rivi in Thessalia. Arbores (trees, acc. pl), flores (flowers, acc. pl.), et animalia (animals, acc. pl.) Daphne (nom. sing.) amavit. Aliam (another) vitam non laudavit. Apollo (nom. sing.) erat deus solis (sun, gen. sing.). Etiam erat deus lucis (light, gen. sing.), et lucis mentis (light of the mind). Ob hanc causam (For this reason) Graecis (Greeks, dative pl.) carus erat. Apollo erat formosus, et feminae eum (him) amabant.


Daphne was a wood nymph. Daphnis’s father was Peneus, the god of the river in Thessalia. Daphne loved trees, flowers, and animals. She did not aspire after any other life. Apollo was god of the son. He was also god of light and the enlightened mind. For he was dear to the Greeks. Apollo was handsome, and women loved him.


Olim Apollo (nom. sing.) in silvis ambulavit et nympham pulchram spectavit. Dolo Dei Amoris (Dei Amoris, gen. = of the God of love, Cupid.), Apollo (nom. sing.) Daphnem (acc. sing.) amavit, sed Daphne (nom. sing.) Apollinem (acc. sing.) non amavit. "Puella", clamavit Apollo, "mane!" Daphne (nom. sing.) ab Apollone (abl. sing.) territa est, et currere (to run) incepit (he/she/it began). Etiam Apollo currere incepit (see previous note). Tum Daphne celeriter cucurrit (ran); et Apollo etiam! Paene eam (her, acc. sing.) cepit (caught)! Daphne, territa (terrified) suo patri (father, dat. sing.) clamavit "Pater, pater, serva me! Da mihi (me, dat. sing.) auxilium tuum!"


Once Apollo walked in the woods and looked at the lovely nymph. It grieved the god of love that Apollo loved Daphne, but Daphne did not love Appollo. “Girl”, cried Appollo “stay!” Then Daphne ran quickly and Apollo too. He nearly called her. Daphne, terrified, called to her father. “ Father, father, save me! I need your help.”





Pater (father, nom. sing.) Peneus suam filiam amavit, et Daphnem (acc. sing.) felicem (happy) videre amavit. Daphnem (acc.sing) in arborem (tree, acc. sing.) mutavit. Daphne (nom. sing.) nunc erat laurus (laurel, nom. sing.), et postea haec (this) arbor (tree, fem. nom. sing.) erat Apollini (dative, sacer is followed by the dative) sacra.





Her father Peneus loved his daughter. He changed Daphne into a tree. Daphne was now a laurel and afterwards this tree was sacred to Apollo.
