Question

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

__________ est Flavia?

Answer

The correct answer is "quis", meaning "who" or "what." The sentence translates to "Who is Flavia?" It should be remembered that the verb "to be" takes the nominative and not the accusative, thus eliminating all the other options, except for "quid" which is neuter and not used for people, and "quae" which is plural.
