Answer 2

1. "True." Every country indeed has its own set of traditions and customs that are unique to its culture and history.

2. "False." While there are certainly unique traditions in each country, there are also some commonalities and shared practices that can be found across different cultures. For example, celebrations of major life events like weddings or funerals, or the observance of certain holidays, may have common elements in various parts of the world.

3. "Don't Know." The statement about English people celebrating Maslenitsa is not accurate. Maslenitsa is a Russian and Eastern Slavic folk festival that is celebrated in the week before the Great Lent. It is not a tradition in England.

4. "True." While there are distinct national holidays in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, there are also common holidays that are observed throughout the United Kingdom. For example, Christmas and New Year are celebrated across the UK.

5. "True." The legend goes that if the ravens leave the Tower of London, it will fall, and great harm will befall the kingdom. As a result, ravens have been kept at the Tower of London since the time of Charles II to prevent this from happening.

6. "True." Guy Fawkes' Day, also known as Bonfire Night, is celebrated on the 5th of November in England. It commemorates the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when Guy Fawkes and others attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

7. "Don't Know." The statement about Russian people seldom eating pancakes with caviar is subjective and may vary from person to person. While pancakes with caviar may not be a common everyday dish, they can be a part of special occasions or celebrations in Russia. Dietary preferences can also vary among individuals.
