Answer 1

The answer is actually D. Germanic.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to page 350 from the Word Power Made Easy book. "English, by the way, is not a Romance language, but a Teutonic one. Our tongue is a development from a German dialect imposed on the natives of Britain by the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes of early English history."

Answer 2

English is over 60% Latin and Greek roots, and dictionaries borrow 80% of entries from Latin. In the science vocabulary terms, over 90 percent are derived from Latin. English and French, as well as Spanish, are heavily derived from Latin.
