Answer:
“We cannot do this,” he said. “Rangi and Papa are our parents. They have created us, made us who we are.”
Explanation:
The Maori mythological narrative of their creation belief is presented in the text "The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand". This text narrates how the popular belief of the creation story, how the Maori people came to be.
Among the given excerpts from the text, the third option best shows how the Maori people perceive their parents. The refusal to kill their parents, stating that they are the ones who gave us life and<em> "made us who we are" </em>clearly shows how parents are perceived to be, revered and important.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
Explanation:
A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.
On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.
<u>We have the sentence:</u>
Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.
<u>We can make it:</u>
As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.
As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.
"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.
You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."
