  2. They raided settlements and monasteries.Respuesta correcta
  3. They traded goods along river and sea routes.Respuesta correcta
  4. They settled and farmed in lands away from home.Respuesta correcta

Explicación

The same communities that fitted out raids also ran long trading routes and founded farms and towns in Britain, Ireland, the north Atlantic and the east, so raiding was one activity among several rather than the whole record. The idea that they never stayed is the closest trap, because the written sources of the time record raids most vividly, while settlement shows up mainly in place names, graves and excavated goods.
