Explanation:

Analyze question (e)

Using the Reading Comprehension and Textual Inference knowledge points, we evaluate the first question. The question asks which topic is most useful for learning how people discovered new land. In traditional Polynesian navigation (wayfinding), navigators used various natural signs to locate islands. While skies (stars) and waves (swells) help maintain a heading across open ocean, seabirds are the primary indicator that land is nearby. Certain species of nesting seabirds fly out to sea to fish in the morning and return to land at night. By observing their flight paths, navigators could determine the direction of unseen islands, making "Seabirds" the most direct method for discovering new land.

Analyze question (f)

Using the Reading Comprehension knowledge points, we evaluate the second question. Traditional Polynesian navigation relies heavily on reading the night sky (celestial navigation using stars, the sun, and the moon) as the primary and most critical method for maintaining direction over long distances across the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, "Skies" represents the most fundamental and important method of navigation for traditional navigators.
