Commander McKee checked the dials and switches in the shuttle cockpit and determined that they were functioning normally. He the

n tested the communications systems that connected his ship with the mission control headquarters. He checked the fuel gauges and saw that there was enough fuel for the months-long trip to Saturn. All of the other gauges and meters checked out normal, and the idling engines gave off a strong, reassuring hum. After a final glance around, McKee declared that the shuttle was finally ready for takeoff. He readied the brave astronauts under his command and the ground crew alertly awaiting the launch. The rocket took off and, racing through space, eventually arrived at Saturn, where Commander McKee and his assistants built the first successful human colony.

Which excerpt from “The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand” best shows how the Maori perceive their parents?
madreJ [45]

I believe the answer is:B.“We cannot do this,” he said. “Rangi and Papa are our parents. They have created us, made us who we are.”

From the line above, the writer shown that Maori really perceive their parents in a really high regard. They felt that the parents are the people that they would always be indebted to for giving life to them. Which is why is taboo for them to do things without the blessing of their parents.
