Chapter 9, Drill b: Practice putting noun-adjective phrases in the genitive case.

Each English phrase consists of a noun and an adjective in an "of" construction, using English "of" or "'s" or "s'". Give the correct Latin phrase (noun + adjective in the genitive, noun first).

Example:

5. of the brave girl
6. of many fathers
7. an angry king's
