Question

Read the passage from "The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand.” In his anger, Tû chopped down the forests to find Tâne and threw him into a basket. Next, Tû searched out Haumia and Rongo by digging into the soft earth, putting them into the basket as well. At last, Tû made nets to capture Tangora’s fish, and lured Tangora into the basket. In a rage, Tû opened his mouth and ate his brothers to punish them for their cowardice. Tû’s descendants became the Mâori, the humans who are able to master anything that they decide to conquer: the forest, the sea, the food, and the earth. What can be inferred about how the Maori feel about the land they live on?

Answer 2

The options of the question are: A) the Maori feel in control of their land. B) the Maori feel overwhelm by the land. C) the Maori feel afraid of the land. D) The Maori feel deep affection for their land.

The correct answer A) the Maori feel in control of their land.

What can be inferred about how the Maori feel about the land they live on is that the Maori feel in control of their land.  

This can be inferred in the lines of the passage “The Maori: Genealogies and origins in New Zeland.” The story about the characters Tu, Tane, Haumia, and Rongo. The passage says that Tu’s descendants became the Maori, the humans that were capable of conquering and master the forest, the sea, the food, and the earth. That is why the Maori felt in control of their land.
