Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Five: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative and vocative
- Step 1: Romanian keeps case forms for nominative-accusative and genitive-dative. Step 2. Grammars list five cases, with the vocative. Answer: five. Why not the others: the ablative and the locative are not listed as cases in modern Romanian.
