The others【B2】______to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish,【B3】______the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed【B4】______being classified as "English".
Even in England there are many【B5】______in regional character and speech. The chief【B6】______is between southern England and northern England.

选项
A、quiet
B、obscure
C、faint
D、silent
