looked like Vikings and lived in Britain before the arrival of the Romans… The

c) If we hear somebody speaking very quickly, without any
pauses and it takes him little time to begin speaking or writing, we call his
speech or writing… Fluent
d) If we see people who disagree with each other, express
their strong feelings and emotions in words and begin to quarrel, we can say
that they… Argue
e) If somebody saves another person or other people from
harm, danger or loss, we can say that somebody … Rescues
f) If a meeting is short in time, we call it… Brief
CCQs

b) Is it one of the ancient languages spoken by the
people who lived in Ireland? Yes.
c) If I speak without making pause and quickly can you

lead to a serious quarrel, can we say that they argue? Yes.
