Question

the terms pas de deux, arabesque, and ballet all come from the field of dance that was developed in france. what is the best explanation for these words being used in english?
people from france are the best dancers in the world.
the words were borrowed into english along with the concepts they describe.
the french words were revised to become english words.
dancing was a new invention, so the words were made up to sound like french.

Explanation:

English frequently adopts loanwords from other languages when the associated cultural or specialized concepts are introduced. In this case, French dance terms entered English alongside the formal dance practices they represent, as there were no existing equivalent English terms for these specific dance concepts. The other options are incorrect: there is no factual basis for claiming French people are the best dancers, the words were not revised to become English (they remain as loanwords), and dance was not a new invention with fabricated French-sounding terms.

Answer:

The words were borrowed into English along with the concepts they describe.
