Answer: C. settlement of New Zealand and Hawaii
Explanation:
The proto-Polynesians were adventurous people with highly developed navigational skills. They perfected their maritime and craft techniques through successive generations that went from island to island, starting from Taiwan through the Philippine and Indonesian archipelagos in the west to the Marianas, finally dispersing in the Pacific Ocean. They colonized previously uninhabited islands, making long canoe trips, in some cases against prevailing winds and tides. Sun and star-oriented Polynesian navigators and careful observations of cloud reflections and bird flight patterns were able to determine the existence and location of the islands. The name given to a star or constellation taken as a mark to guide was kaweinga. The discovery of new islands and groups of islands was made through small villages called vanua or "banwa" that sailed in large single-hull and double-hull canoes. Archaeological evidence indicates that by 1280 AD, these travelers had colonized the vast Polynesian triangle with its northernmost corner in Hawaii, the eastern corner at Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and finally the southern corner of New Zealand
Answer:
B. Fear that northern Sudan would establish an Arabic and Islamic state
Explanation:
Sudan has had internal problems for quite some time, and the root of them lied in the religious differences between the people living in northern Sudan and southern Sudan. The northern portion of the country was dominant and it was trying to force the Islam onto the people of other religions, as well as trying to establish Islamic state. The people of southern Sudan didn't wanted that, as they wanted to preserve their religion and their way of life. The situation was tense and eventually escalated, with the president of Sudan ordering the army to perform a genocide over the people that were not Muslim in the southern part of the country. This led to civil war, intervention from the United Nations, and split of the country into two separate countries.
