Is what I got for the scansion, so I agree with you there.
I agree with previous posters - the Euripedes questions allowed you to show your knowledge really well, I thought they were much better than previous year's questions.
As for the passage - I think it was quite easy to get the general gist since the vocab was pretty standard, but may come unstuck with some of the specifics - had to stretch the meaning of some words to make sense, although I guess that is what you have to do with poetry. The questions on the passage seemed more straightforward than the translation itself.
