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.

Thrush, Bush


Eye rhyme is when two words look like they should rhyme because they are spelled the same. However, the words do not actually rhyme because they are not pronounced the same. Thrush and bush both have the same ush spelling at the end. Thrush is pronounced with a short u /uh/ sound. Whereas bush has a short /oo/ sound.
