Answer 1

In this sample response, you have considered the three options: Inferences about the Maori culture, inferences about the Haida culture and your own values and preferences. The evidence about this is the following:

• Inferences about the Maori culture: "The Maori people seem to enjoy conflicts and competition more". The modal verb "seem" expresses the idea of inference.
• Inferences about the Haida culture: "The Haida people's values are more like my own because the Haida value compassion". In this case, you are inferring that their culture holds the value of compassion, similar to you own culture.
• Your own values and preferences: "The Haida people's values are more like my own because the Haida value compassion" and "I prefer when people are helpful and kind". In these two instances, you introduce your own values, such as the value of compassion, and your preference for helpful and kind people.
