The reason why Anglo-Saxon words were considered more useful than other languages is that the Germanic words were more common and direct than French o Latin ones, besides they were used to talk about concrete and direct things, as French and LAting words we use to talk about all the intangible things.

Later, Latin words started to replace German and nowadays they are more common than the old Eglish words that were straight forward.

The other options are not correct because the ones that seem more intelligent for people were the Latin an French words because of their bureaucratic use, German words were not complex at all, and there are not actually better words than other it's all relative, according to the society and kind of life and communication.

They used simple every day words.

The Anglo-Saxon words were seen as the words of the common people. They named things that people used and talked about every day. They were not used for philosophical discussions or in the government. Words with Latin roots were seen as more intelligent because only a specific group could read and understand them, so Latin and French were seen as more complex. The last answer choice is a complete throw away. "Just better" indicates that this is an answer choice of personal opinion, just thrown in so that there is a fourth choice.
