2 nOT giVEn: The first paragraph only explains
when the Europeans first arrived, that they sought
‘opportunities’, and how the Maori viewed them – as
‘strange’. We are not provided with any information
about the intentions of the Europeans and what kind
of opportunities they were looking for.
3 nOT giVEn: The second paragraph says
‘Polynesians . . . were also skilled craftsmen. There is
archaeological evidence that the tools they produced
were of high quality . . . Craftsmen were also
occupied with making weapons.’ We are told that
both tools and weapons were made, but there is no
information about any different groups of craftsmen
that might have made them.
4 FALSE: The second paragraph explains that ‘some
crafts . . . were no longer done in New Zealand . . .
Pottery is an example of this, despite the fact that the
clay . . . could easily be found in the new country.’ So,
although the Maori had the opportunity to do pottery
in New Zealand, they did not pursue it.
5 TRUE: The third paragraph says that the Maori word
for ‘decorative work’ is
whakairo , a term that can
refer to bone, wood and greenstone carving. ‘The
same term can also apply to weaving; the crafting of,
for example, woven baskets and mats all required
knowledge and skill.’ In other words, decorative work
includes both the carving of different materials and
the weaving of different objects.
6 FALSE: The third paragraph explains that because
greenstone was rare, any object made of it was a
‘prized possession’. Such rare objects were owned
only by ‘the few people of high status rather than
low-ranking members of a tribe’.
