Actually, the answer would be A) Competition, B) Hospitality, and E) Warriors. Contrary to popular belief, Anglo-Saxons "Vikings," were very hospitable. They are one of the most hospitable cultures, alongside of the Greeks and Romans. They were also very tidy and concerned with personal hygiene. Competition, however, is a common theme with many old cultures. The Greeks, for example, were very competitive. Take the funeral of Patroklos, from Homer's epic poem "The Iliad." The different Mycenaean tribes of Greeks competed in games for awards. And as to the warriors, they were obviously common due to inner wars and defending their land.
