Based on the lesson and your own knowledge, the word croissant is an example of which type of word?

a. an invented word
b. a borrowed word
c. an acronym
d. a word blend

Hi, the correct answer is B - a borrowed word. It cannot be A, as it is not invented. C isn't correct either, as this is not an acronym (like NASA, for example, which stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration). D isn't correct, because this is not a blend, like, for example - smog (smoke + fog). Sp, the correct answer is B, croissant has been borrowed from French.
