Answer Key to the Exercises GVE p. 64

Reading Exercise/Test Exercise
Megadorus sees his neighbor Euclio. Euclio leaves the marketplace. He is worried. For Euclio’s mind is at home because he doesn’t see (his) gold, (whereas) Euclio himself is outside. Megadorus greets Euclio, a rich man a poor one, in an ingratiating manner. Euclio, however, is afraid because Megadorus is a rich man. It is obvious. Megadorus wants Euclio’s treasure. There is no doubt. Euclio goes into (his/the) house (and) sees the gold; it is safe. Therefore, he leaves the house. Megadorus asks for Euclio’s daughter as his wife. Euclio promises his daughter, but without a dowry. For he is poor. Therefore, he has no dowry. Megadorus doesn’t want a dowry. He is a good man and rich enough. The wedding is today. Therefore, Megadorus calls a cook into (his) house. Staphyla, however, is afraid because Phaedra is pregnant from Lyconides. Megadorus is marrying a pregant wife. It’s bad.
