Explanation:

Question 1

A nation is a group of people united by common history, culture, language, etc. Native Hawaiians share these, so they are a nation. A semiautonomous region (A) has some self - rule but is part of a larger state. A reservation (B) is land set aside for indigenous people, often with different governance. A nation - state (C) is a state with a single nation, but Native Hawaiians aren't a state. A multistate nation (E) is a nation spread across multiple states. So the correct answer is D.

Multinational states have multiple nations within them. Different nations may have different interests, leading to struggles for unity and internal conflict (E). Option A is about UN recognition, not a challenge of multinational states. Option B describes states with autonomous regions, not multinational states. Option C is about cultural recognition, not a core challenge of multinational states. Option D is about border issues, not specific to multinational states.

Neocolonialism is the use of external economic, political, or cultural pressures to influence other countries, often after formal colonialism. Irredentism (A) is about reclaiming lost territory. Political power (C) is a general term. Choke points (D) are strategic locations. Territoriality (E) is about control over territory. So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

D. Nation
