Why is On the Origin of Species described as “one long argument”?

English
2 answers:
Airida [17]3 years ago
7 0

The answer is: it is about evolution.

Darwin himself characterized his seminal book, <em>On the origin of the species, </em>as “one long argument”. There is still debate as to what exactly did he mean by that characterization, but it is agreed upon that he evidently was referencing his theory of evolution based on common ancestry between species and natural selection as the process of differentiation between them, which, all in all, tells a story that took millions of years, or, in more poetic terms, it summarizes a very long argument.

Most likely because it presents an opinion supported by reasons. <em /><em>On the Origin of Species</em> is the paper in which Darwin presents his theory of macroevolution and the reasons he has for postulating it.

Rilke writes about a swan, but the swan could symbolize _____. rilke all birds humankind children
madam [21]

Rilke writes about a swan, but the swan could symbolize humankind.

This is because the complete poem by Rilke talks about the swan and how clumsy it could be while walking and also, Rilke compares MAN with the clumsy swan in life as shown in the line “which is letting go/ of the ground we stand on and cling to every day”

<h3>What is Symbolism?</h3>

This refers to the use of words to mean another thing and could be compared to another thing or person to give it a deeper meaning.

Hence, we can see that from the complete poem, there is the narration of the life of swans and how clumsy they could be.

Therefore, we can see that Rilke compares MAN with the clumsy swan in life as shown in the line “which is letting go/ of the ground we stand on and cling to every day”

PART A: Which of the following statements best describes a central idea of the text?
White raven [17]

Part A: B  AquAdvantage salmon has DNA from other fish that lets it grow faster and in different conditions than regular Atlantic salmon.

The entire text talks about how these genetically modified salmon could be a better food source if it was approved by the FDA. One of the reasons is because it grows faster and in different conditions so it is easier farm.

Part B: C  Paragraph 14

This paragraph supports part A because it specifies that the AquAdvantage salmon can grow to full size in half the time of Atlantic salmon.

3. D  The FDA temporarily reversed its approval of transgenic salmon as food after listening to public concerns.

Originally the FDA, after extensive research, decided the genetically modified salmon was safe to eat and not harmful to the environment as long as it was farmed in facilities and not released in the wild. The text then goes on to say, "But so many people objected that the FDA decided to reconsider its decision." The other statements are simply incorrect.

4. C  They show that people already eat genetically modified plant food without any issues or protest.

In the paragraphs, it explains that people in Canada are already eating some genetically modified food such as "tomatoes, corn, soya, canola, squash, milk products and other foods".
