The Taking of Property for Public Use. Eminent domain is the power of government to take private land for public use.

Prediction 1 is best. Two hummingbirds with short or medium beaks had a baby with a mutation in its genes for the long-beak trait. Because long-beak hummingbirds are more likely to survive, that baby survived long enough to pass on its mutation, so the long-beak trait became more common over generations.
