Evolution as an idea has existed since ancient times. The first thinkers to propose that modern lifeforms evolved from earlier forms were Greek philosophers, like Anaximander and Empedocles, living centuries BCE. Naturally, they thought that the way life and the world presented themselves to them was evidence for their hypotheses.
It wasn't until Charles Darwin that a comprehensive explanation for evolution was proposed, one that consisted of falsifiable hypotheses and that was supported by independently verifiable evidence to such an extent that it defeated alternative explanations in scope and accuracy.

True. That is the definition of evolution.

true but his experiment proved him wrong :)
Hypothesis are theories which are yet to be proven. They are proven when they are proved to be true as in experiments.
Neither. It is a hypothesis which may be true until proved or proved to be false.
He incorporated the Acquired Traits theory into evolution, which Darwin's research proved as BS.
Irrefutable evidence is the only means that something is proved to be true.

True. That is the definition of evolution.
Well, that's not possible. It is called a theory because it can't be definitively proved. For instance, we know gravity exists, so it is a scientific law, but there is no definite proof for evolution, so it is just a theory.
FALSE
The relative pronoun is that (relates to the noun 'story')."The unlikely story that he told proved to be true."
An axiom is a self-evident statement that is assumed to be true. A theorem is proved to be true.
