According to the French dictionary Petit Robert, it "perhaps" originally came from Italian, "Bombagia", meaning cotton.

Ref: 1220; o. i., p.-ê. de l'it. bombagia « coton 
Note: Agreed, the word beige most recently came from French.  I went too far back to 1220!

The correct answer is French.

The word beige (which represents a color similar to the color of sand) most recently comes from French. The English language contains a lot of words borrowed from other languages, and French is one of the biggest 'inspirations.' Although it is unknown what the very first language of origin of the word beige is, the most recent is definitely French.

Here,

Is the civil rights movement complete? Honestly no I don't think it is. The world is still very corrupt and it's not just black's at this time, it's everyone. The main focus would be making sure everyone is treated equally, there's police officer's beating down people and taking their authority to news levels when the things people are doing aren't that major. The civil rights movement was all about equality between race.. but maybe it should have been about more than just that.

False, you do not need to provide documentation for a source you have not directly quoted. (I'm in high school so I'm just going off with what I know.)

Answer:

  1. Psyche must separate a quantity of cereals and group them by species.
  2. Psyche should look for sheep wool flakes for Venus.
  3. Psyche should climb a very high and dangerous rock, face the dragons and fill a jar with the dark water that fed two hellish rivers Cocyte and Styx.
  4. Psyche should go down to the bottom of Hades and ask Persephone for some immortal beauty.

Explanation:

Cupid was a lover of Venus, who was a very vain goddess and adored for her beauty. However, Psyche was such a beautiful motal that men were going from worshiping Venus to worshiping Psyche, which made the goddess very angry and jealous.

Because of this, Venus, sends Cupid with the mission of making Psyche fall in love with the most horrible creature that was on the face of the earth. However, Cupid ends up hitting himself with the arrow and falls in love with Psyche.

He takes psyche to his palace and makes her his wife, but he says she should never look at him. One day, driven by her sisters, Psyche looks at Cupid and falls in love with her beauty. However, disobedience causes cupid to abandon her and makes her, from now on, looking for the love she lost.

Psyche begs the goddess Venus to bring her lover back, as a condition for making this request, the goddess proposes that the psyche perform the following tasks:

  1. Psyche must separate a quantity of cereals and group them by species.
  2. Psyche should look for sheep wool flakes for Venus.
  3. Psyche should climb a very high and dangerous rock, face the dragons and fill a jar with the dark water that fed two hellish rivers Cocyte and Styx.
  4. Psyche should go down to the bottom of Hades and ask Persephone for some immortal beauty.

In the first task, Psyche had help from the ants to perform them. In the second task, a reed that sprouted from the river taught her to harvest the wool that the sheep left on the branches. In the third task, Zeus' eagle spilled the pitcher with the requested water. And in the last task, he received advice from a tower on how to succeed on his journey and complete the mission.
