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.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Copper is a very important natural resource to India. Copper is important because it has many uses. Copper and its alloys are used in a variety of industries. The company that mostly uses it is the electricity sector because of it being a good conductor of electricity which is good for India’s economy. Copper is a renewable resource and can be recycled over and over without a loss in performance. The long term impact of being able to recycle copper easily is that the reliance on India to provide the natural resource may not last forever since other countries can just recycle the copper they already have.

Which statement from why do we need zoos best captures the author's point of view
Amanda [17]
<em>"Zoos and wildlife parks  are places where we can protect species that are in trouble, so they don’t disappear from the Earth completely."</em> This statement shows the author's point of view about why the animals need zoos. And this is the author's point of view of why we need zoos, <em>"Zoos give people the opportunity to see animals in person, often up close, to watch them, realize how alike we are in many ways, to understand them, and to appreciate them." </em>

Answer:

B.  He wanted to make the poem more concise and direct.

Explanation:

Ezra Pound wrote a 30-line poem where he narrated his experience in a Paris metro station but he discarded this version because he did not like it.

Much later, he again tried narrating his experience, this time making the narration shorter than the first, but he again discarded it.

Finally, after reading Japanese hiakus, Mr. Pound finally wrote his experience in a two-line version that has now become immensely popular because of its length.

So, he reduced his poem from a 30-lined one to two lines because he wanted to make the poem more concise and direct.
