Were your guesses correct?

People have always been in need of a consistent language to do business across the globe and lots of non-native English speakers are trying to solve this problem. It’s not always easy (1) ... . Just think of 615,000 words in the Oxford English Dictionary! However, some experts claim they have the answer.

The concept gained its greatest publicity just after the Second World War (3) ... . Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt supported the idea of using Basic English as an international language, and Churchill recommended it (4) ... . Amused critics said that “blood, toil, tears and sweat” translates into Basic English as “blood, hard work, eyewash and body water”.

(Я не могу ответить на этот вопрос, так как он относится к догадкам, которые я должен был сделать заранее. Поскольку я не делал никаких предположений, я не знаю, были бы они верными.)
