The others【72】to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish,【73】the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed【74】being classified as "English".
    Even in England there are many【75】in regional character and speech. The chief【76】is between southern England and northern England. South of a【77】going from Bristol to London, people speak the type of English usually learnt by international students,【78】there are local variations.
    Further north, regional speech is usually "【79】" than that of southern Britain. Northerners are【80】to claim that they work harder than Southerners, and are more【81】.

选项 A、as
B、which
C、for
D、so
答案A
解析 此题属于语法题。根据语法，本题应填入引导非限定性定语从句的关系代词，故在选项A as与选项B which之间选择。两者均可引导非限定性定语从句，指代整个主句的意思，但as引导的定语从句对主句起相辅作用，意为“正如”等意义，位置灵活，可置于句首、句中或句末。例如：As you may know, water consists of oxygen and hydrogen．正如你所知道的，水是由氧和氢组成。所以A as是正确答案。选项C for用于并列句中，表示“因为”，例如：I caught a cold, for I had been walking around in the rain．选项D so也用于并列句中，表示“所以”。
