Which of the following words come from the Anglo-Saxon language?

Correct Answer: Apple and summer

"Apple" and "summer" both come from Old English (Anglo-Saxon).

The Anglo-Saxons, who settled Britain from around AD 450, gave English most of its core everyday words — particularly those relating to nature, farming, family, and the body.

Words like Grimsby and Scunthorpe come from Viking (Old Norse), while music and dance derive from French/Latin roots introduced after the Norman Conquest.
