Question

Which of the following best pairs Darwin's contributor to his ideas?
a. Malthus—proposed the idea of acquired characteristics during an organism's lifetime
b. Lyell—stated that geological processes would take millions of years
c. Lamarck—used a concept of deep time to explain Earth's history
d. Hutton—believed overcrowding led to conditions that would slow population growth

Answer 1

The man whose ideas most closely resemble the sentence would be Lyell - geological processes would take millions of years.

The reason is that neither of the other people in this case - Malthus, Lamarck or Hutton would be heard saying any of the mentioned things and only Lyell would be the man whose ideas were here the ones who are also true.
