Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.

The territory that now makes up the United States was settled by people from England, France, Holland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and other countries. The Indians, of course, were already there.
Naturally, the nationalities in the colonies called one another by slang terms. Often the slang terms came from some name that was popular among a particular group. The equivalent of the English name James, for instance, is the common Spanish name Diego, pronounced “dee-ay’goh”. That gives rise to the insulting word Dago applied to a Spaniard or to other South Europeans, such as the Italians.
The English in Connecticut were subjected to this same irritating device by the Dutch who, prior to 1664, occupied New Amsterdam (later New York). A common name among the English is John and to the Dutch this was Jan, pronounced “yan”. What was more natural than for the Dutch to call any Englishman Jan? To make it more condescending and insulting, they used the diminutive form Janke (equivalent to Johnikins in English). This was pronounced “yan kuh” and that easily became Yankee.
The term, which originally applied to natives of Connecticut, later applied to all New Englanders and was eventually given to all Northerners by the Southerners and to all Americans by people of other countries.
