Read the paragraph below. Sometime in the next hundred years, scientists began to notice a
huge change in the moth population living in and between the cities of
Manchester and London near where many of those factories had been
constructed. Most of the peppered moths were the darkcolored kind!
What caused this change was the fact that predators had eaten a lot of
the light gray peppered moths because the moths were clearly visible on
the blackcolored trees. The darkcolored peppered moths in the area
survived much more easily and mated with other darkcolored peppered
moths until most of the population of peppered moths became
darkcolored.
Choose the sentence that best summarizes the paragraph.
O Many factories were made in the cities of Manchester and London during the Industrial
Revolution
Due to an increase in factories, dark grey moths survived better than light grey moths by
blending in with the soot-covered trees.
O in Manchester and London today, there are many dark-colored peppered moths.
Predators preferred light grey peppered moths over dark-colored peppered moths.
