AlpheccaStarsEngland, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are often mistaken as names of countries, but they are only a part of the United Kingdom.I'll never understand this. What were these entities which were "united" if not countries? I'm stumped.
No need to explain. The question is rhetorical, and I probably won't remember the answer anyway

England, Wales and Scotland may not be independent sovereign states, but they are countries. Don't try telling a person from one of these countries that they are not.

sunny123Is it correct if we fill the blank in the following with the word "English" or we have to fill that with the word "British".Either word would be fine. England is one of multiple parts of the UK, so, people and things from there are English and British.

AlpheccaStars AnonymousThey are countries, just not independent ones.And the Scots voted not to go independent.You mean Scots voted to be independent.
And the Scots voted not to go independent. = Scots voted not to be independent.

sunny123Is it correct if we fill the blank in the following with the word "English" or we have to fill that with the word "British".I suggest that the test maker wants 'English', not 'British', whatever the sovereignties may be.
He is from Spain; he is Spanish.
He is from the Netherlands; he is Dutch.
etc.
