Answer 1

C. used rivers to travel faster than they could on land.

Answer 2

The lines that most closely illustrate how Bede’s religion influenced his view of events are;

‘if any one among them happened to be milder than the rest, and more inclined to truth, all the rest abhorred and persecuted him unrestrainedly, as if he had been the enemy of Britain’

‘it was unanimously decided to call the Saxons to their aid from beyond the sea, which, as the event plainly showed, was brought about by the Lord's will, that evil might fall upon them for their wicked deeds.’
