Answer:

Charles Darwin´s Origin of Species

Explanation:

The way the peppered moth changed (or evolutionised) is in line with

Darwin´s origen of species theory. As its camouflage is vital for surviving, the peppered moth species turned out to be darker when the trees were blackened by soot and lighter after the Clean Air Act in 1959. This made them more difficult to be spotted by the birds and guaranteed them the survival of the best adapted (camouflaged) species.

The meadow which was covered with yellow, blue and white flowers was a beautiful sight. The native grasses were thriving because the whole area, barring only the pasture had become a registered nature reserve. In fact, it was so pretty that i tried to take a picture, but when i saw that, my phone battery had died. Disappointed, i walked back to the hotel to recharge it.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Faustus gives to thee his soul. Ah, there it stay’d. Why should’st thou not? Is
Svetach [21]

Fate and free will is a crucial theme dealt by Christopher Marlowe, particularly in chapter five, where Faustus expresses these lines: Ah, there it stay’d. Why should’st thou not? Is not thy soul thine own?, In this chapter he decides willingly to sell his soul to Lucifer, but when he is willing to make the bargain, and he stabs his arm in an attempt to write the deed in blood, the blood congeals, so that it was impossible for Faustus to write his name, in other words he couldn’t sign the agreement with Lucifer. At that point of the story he wondered whether that was fate, if his own blood was protecting him, and saving him, preventing his soul to be sold to Lucifer. However, he finalized the pact with Lucifer and discovered on his arm the inscription “O, man fly”. That could be interpreted as a warning from God to Dr, Faustus to be free to live his fate instead of selling his soul to Lucifer. Thus, Fausto started wondering if he should repent and trust God. However, Fausto was lured by Lucifer and his evil angels; in spite of the fact of the different sign he saw that could have been a clear message to follow God , he willingly sold his soul to the devil.  

All things considered, Fausto could have follow his fate, be free, not signing the pact when his blood congealed. However, he felt free to decide which path to follow by signing it and selling his soul.  So, Marlowe is remarking that we all have a fate, but that fate does not condemn us, our own decision do, because we have free will to make our own decisions and make mistakes, even though if those mistakes are fatal.

Which statements from "On Becoming an Inventor" are facts? "I was intimidated by the huge buildings devoted to these studies." "
MissTica

Answer:

"I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry."

"Then Bart went off to college and I had use of the rest of the basement."

"Not only was this invention used in theaters, but it was sold to the Museum of Natural History and the New York Planetarium to project views of the heavens on the ceiling."

Explanation:

These are the statements that can be considered facts. Facts are objective statements that describe reality. The most important quality of facts is that they are falsifiable. This means that facts can be proven to be right or wrong. Facts are usually contrasted with opinions. Opinions are thoughts that a person has, but that are not necessarily shared by others. Moreover, opinions are not objectively right or wrong, they are subjective, as they express the unique point of view of a person, and depend on this for legitimacy.
