Darwin’s voyage on the beagle and his subsequent work on evolution pushed human origins – and indeed the origins of life itself – into an unthinkably distant past. geologists had already demonstrated that the earth was far older than previously believed, undermining the calculation made by archbishop ussher (see chapter 2).

based on context clues in the passage, what is the best definition of the word geologist?

a person who studies the earth
a kind of ship used for exploration
a type of religious leader
a period of change and uncertainty

A

Explanation:

I always thought that a geologists really studies rocks and rock formations.

Certainly he would not be a ship.

Nor would he be a religious leader. If that was so, Bishop Ussher estimate of the earth's age (6000 years old) would make a geologist a religious leader.

Darwin did bring in an age of change and uncertainty, but that is not the function of a geologist.

The closest answer is A

the answer is d. books are banned from the library. this is an example of censorship because the library did not want people reading the content of those books. the library censored the books by banning them.

the nation will get back everything that was lost

hope this
