—\the māori: genealogies and origins in new
zealand\
based on this passage, which values seem to
be most important to the māori?
○ freedom and individuality
○ togetherness and love
○ killing and war
○ sacrifice and unhappiness

Explanation:

To determine the important values for the Māori, we analyze the passage: The sons loved their parents (showing love), and the tight embrace of the parents implies a sense of togetherness initially. The option "freedom and individuality" is about breaking free, but the passage's focus on familial love and togetherness (before the desire for freedom) makes "togetherness and love" more fitting. "Killing and war" is a means, not a core value, and "sacrifice and unhappiness" are negative, not values.

Answer:

B. togetherness and love
