19. What form of sacer agrees with campi?

sacri. This is actually a tricky one, because “campi” could be genitive singular, and if you didn’t know, ‘sacri’ could be a 3rd declension adjective (in which case, its genitive WOULD be ‘sacris’), which would make ‘campi sacris’ (of the sacred camp) correct. But sacer is NOT a 3rd declension adjective, so it has to be ‘sacri’.
