28.06.24: Mythology [1]; who’s who?

I’ve mentioned the National Latin Examination in earlier posts:

https://www.nle.org/Exams/Previous-Exams-Answer-Keys

I found no better way of monitoring my own progress in Latin than by going through these examinations which are at clearly indicated levels according to difficulty, and the answer keys are provided. There are 40 marks in total and I rarely got 40/40 – since there are a couple of mythology questions! Sometimes, I know them because I’ve read them in a textbook, or I know them from general knowledge – but sometimes it’s a stab in the dark because, as the levels go up, the questions are less about who the gods and goddesses are, but what they did!

Match the names with the descriptions; these are well-known ones.

[1] Jupiter

[2] Juno

[3] Neptune

[4] Pluto

[5] Minerva
