Ajax and Ulysses
From Book 13 of Ovid's Metamorphoses
Question 8 Answer
B
This line is very hard. Remember to account for the elision from "utendum" to "est" and know that "hoc" is long even though there is no reason for it to be (it's because of older Latin, in which "hoc" was spelled "hocc", meaning that now "hoc" can be long or short, even without a long mark on the "o" or another consonant after it).
