Read this excerpt from Leah Missbach Day’s foreword to Wheels of Change. In efforts to restart the lives of those devastated by

the crushing waves of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, my husband, F. K. Day, and I founded World Bicycle Relief (WBR). WBR works to provide access to independence and livelihood through the power of bicycles. During our work in Sri Lanka in 2005-2006, we put more than 24,000 new bicycles into the hands of those rebuilding their lives. Since 2006, we have moved into Africa where we currently work in Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Kenya addressing oppressive poverty and the AIDS pandemic by mobilizing volunteer caregivers, students, and entrepreneurs with bicycles.
What is the central idea of the excerpt?
A. WBR was founded in an attempt to assist the victims of a tsunami in 2004
B. WBR believes that bicycles can transform lives by providing independence
C. WBR has moved its headquarters to Africa, where health problems prevail.
D. WBR gives bicycles to everyone struggling with social and health issues.

Explanation:

Spending time at deserted places can cause contrasting mixed feelings, of self solitude with missing up.

If I were on a deserted island, I would miss my best friend the most. I would wish that she could be with me & we could spend quality time. Materially, I would miss my laptop & internet, so that there is some source of external entertainment, specially music.

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.
