Many castles have legends.

Words: 1. buildings; 2. famous; 3. England; 4. fascinating; 5. are; 6. people; 7. others.

Explanation:

• (A) are: The sentence requires a plural verb to agree with 'hundreds of castles'. Option 5 ('are') fits grammatically.
• (B) are: Similar to (A), the sentence requires a plural verb to agree with 'some of them' (referring to castles). Option 5 ('are') is the correct choice.
• (C) people: Castles can be homes for people. Option 6 ('people') fits the context.
• (D) England: The Queen of England is a specific reference that fits the context of castles. Option 3 ('England') is the correct choice.
• (E) history: The sentence describes the age and characteristics of castles, and 'history' fits the context of their past existence and significance. Option 7 ('others') or Option 1 ('buildings') do not fit as well as 'history' which is implied to be their historical significance. However, given the options and the sentence structure, 'history' implies that they have a historical significance, and this makes sense in context. Considering the provided word list, 'fascinating' could also fit as an adjective. However, if we consider the structure "have got a ... history", it implies a significant past. If we look at option 4 'fascinating', it would mean "have got a fascinating". This is a correct grammatical structure. Given the options and the text's context, 'fascinating' is the most suitable choice describing their nature.
