The others【C2】______to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish,【C3】______the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed【C4】______being classified as "English".
Even in England there are many【C5】______in regional character and speech. The chief【C6】______is between southern England and northern England. South of a【C7】______going from Bristol to London, people speak the type of English usually learnt by foreign students,【C8】______there are local variations.

选项
A、designate
B、demonstrate
C、represent
D、reckon
答案
C
解析
represent意为“描述,表示”,句意为“在口音和特征方面,米德兰(英格兰中部地区)的人代表了从南部型英格兰人到北部型英格兰人的逐渐变化”,故答案为C。A项designate意为“指明,表明”;B项demonstrate意为“论证,演示”;D项reckon意为“认为,指望,测算”;根据上下文语义,均不符合。
