#182
The men kept hurling their weapons down from the high place with great eagerness.
I rendered it:
Viri tela de loco alto studio magni iaciebant.
The key renders it:
Viri magno studio tela de loco alto iaciebant.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks

The only mistake you made is forgetting to put magno in the ablative to agree with studio. There is also a preference to put adjectives indicating size or quantity before the noun, rather than after (as for most other adjectives)
Otherwise, the key just has a different word order; there's nothing "incorrect" in the order you gave instead.
