Question: 8
8. This passage suggests that the Polynesians
- A. trained seabirds to guide their canoes.
- B. had seen a line in the sky that was invisible to others.
- C. used a primitive telescope to view the heavens.
- D. were astronomers as well as explorers.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is (D). The third paragraph tells us how the Polynesians used the stars for navigation. People who study and understand movements of the stars are astronomers. Although the Polynesians used movements of seabirds as a guide during the daytime, they had not trained the birds. There is no mention of telescopes.
