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

English

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.

Answer:

What kind of information is the author talking about?

What does the word "commodity" mean?

What role does digital information play in society?

Explanation:

When reading a text, it is common for the reader to find sentences that make it difficult for him to understand the text and the subject conveyed by it. In this case, it is important that the reader asks questions about this sentence or about the text, to be able to demystify the sentence and understand the subject presented more effectively. An example of this can be seen in the text above, where the reader can ask the three questions selected above, to understand the sentence "information is the most valuable commodity." These questions are not only able to associate the term "information" as something of high value in our current society, but are also able to present how the internet was and continues to be an influencing factor in this system that causes the elevation of information as a commodity.

reread lines 6-7 "The Survivor." Determine how the tone of these differs from the preceding lines (1-5)
Greeley [361]

In poem "The Survivor" by Marilyn Chin, the lines 1-5 appears as if the narrator is addressing actions that would be considered bad behavior, but the tone changes in lines 6-7 when she mentions "that your skin is yellow, not white, not black,/ that you were born not a boy-child but a girl," meaning that she is addressing her identity as an Asian girl.
