Answer and Explanation:

8) According to the instructions, both French and English have the word "meat". However, they have very different meanings. Among the options for us to choose, the best one seems to be E. origins, in this case. The word "meat" in English most likely does not have the same origin as the word "meat" in French. When words look the same and convey similar meanings while belonging to different languages, that usually means they have the same origin. But that is clearly not the case here.

9) Again, both French and English have the word "debacle". This time, the word has the same meaning in both languages. We can safely say "debacle" in French and "debacle" in English are C. cognates. Cognates are words that have the same origin, the same linguist derivation. Since they have similar meanings and the same spelling, those words are most likely cognates.
