What passage? If you attach a photo I can answer your question :)
I believe the correct answers are:
- an Indo-European language of Germanic origin: this is definitely true as old English (as well as modern English) belongs to the Germanic group of languages, along with Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic), German, Yiddish, etc. And all of them are Indo-European languages
- depended on inflections to indicate gender: this statement is also true. Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon English, used different suffixes to denote the gender of a noun. So if a noun was female, it would have a different suffix from that of male/neuter gender. This has mostly disappeared from modern English.
- depended on inflections to indicate grammatical form: this statement is also true. Old English used different suffixes to denote the form of a word, such as the tense, or possessive form, etc. This is something that modern English has kept as well, and you can see it in -ed suffix for past tense, or 's used for possessive form.
These three options are definitely correct, whereas 'similar to modern English' is definitely incorrect because they almost look nothing alike. I'm not sure about the mixture of many languages though - it had many dialects, but ultimately it was one Germanic/Viking language, so I don't think other languages influenced it a lot at the time - that came later with Middle English.

The correct answer is C. Including words that address logic and reason
Explanation:
The purpose of an argument is to prove as valid a specific point of view usually by including reasons, evidence, examples, based on facts and logic. In the case of the excerpt presented, the author argues against censorship by explaining the importance of reading and highlighting how books are necessary for the spirit. Additionally, in this argument, the author provides mainly evidence based on emotions such as "Books nourish the spirit" or "we become freer and freer". In this context, one way to make the excerpt more argumentative is to introduce words or statements that are based on logic and reason because by introducing this type of objective evidence the author can better prove the importance of preventing censorship, and therefore the argument will be strengthened.
