Bricks【C1】________ have been known in Britain before then, but they were not【C2】________ enough to be mentioned by any write.

These ships would have had to return empty,【C8】________ their captains were able to pick up a【C9】________ cargo, and no captain likes an empty ship. For【C10】________ thing, it is difficult to【C11】________in stormy weather; for another thing, it is a great waste of space.

These bricks must have been a godsend to the builders of London and southeast England. There was very【C17】________ building stone in that part of the country, and stocks of good building【C18】________ were running【C19】________. Bricks were first used for the big houses of rich people living in the countryside, and only later for town houses and【C20】________ cottages.
