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

“We should kill our parents,” he suggested, for he was the god of war. “It will be difficult, but it is the only way we can truly be free!”
“We cannot do this,” he said. “Rangi and Papa are our parents. They have created us, made us who we are.”
“The Sky Father will watch us from above, while the Earth Mother nourishes us from below.”
“It is impossible!” cried Tû. “We should kill them. There is no other way to be free.”

“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 "made us who we are" clearly shows how parents are perceived to be, revered and important.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
