i can not get my head around question 5.8
5.8 Is this an arranged marriage/civil partnership ?

what does that mean in plain old english ? (sorry from west midlands)

:Erm:
your not married yet and your looking at a settlement visa ! ?
thing you need first is a 2yr spouse visa b4 that.. and after 2 years apply for settlement

oh and for your question,

5.8 Is this an arranged marriage/civil partnership ?

plain english, an arranged marriage is usually when the parents choose their son's or daughter's future spouse (usually Indian, muslim's)
and for civil partnetship, it enables a same-sex couple to register as civil partners of each other under UK law.

usually both wouldn't apply to most people on here.

Yes one sets of original and one sets of photo copy as they will return all the original back to you and keep the photo copy..
