Would translating astrologorum as singular instead of plural be a major or minor error?

Thanks. I put "he asked for their plan" so I presume that means I lose the mark?

I just realised I think I put 'made their plan' or something but I can't really remember does that mean I would lose a mark!?

I am seriously forgetful... was that in the comprehension or the translation?

Also was it 1 or 2 marks? Because a harsh mark-scheme could drop you 2, if that was what it was worth.

I think in the comprehension but tbh I can't remember what I put or what the Latin was!!! Also which set texts are you studying?

It was in the comprehension for one mark

I'm doing Virgil's Aeneid IX and a sources paper (instead of a 2nd set text).
How about you?

There's only the one past paper from last year, but it is on the Aeneid IX thankfully.

I put "They easily crushed a few slaves, who had been left behind to save the mistress" - but this was the other bit I wasn't sure about...

I feel stupid now- I put "the slaves, who were tired [don't ask] from having worked for the mistress, were pushed easily.

The "peteret" was rather awkward; I put "to carry out his plan", because when you read on, it is actually Acitenus who kills her, or whatever his name was.
