Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For the inference "The ability to navigate helped Polynesian communities obtain resources that were necessary for survival", the text evidence "By using this complex travel system, Polynesian communities were able to find food, fresh water, and wood and to relocate whole populations to new islands." supports it as it shows how navigation (via the complex travel system) helped get survival resources.
  2. For the inference "Polynesian navigators had a deep connection with the natural world", the text evidence "Instead, they navigated by paying close attention to elements of the environment, such as the positions of the stars, the behavior of sea birds, the direction of ocean currents, and patterns of cloud formation over islands." supports it as it describes how they used natural elements for navigation, showing a connection to nature.
  3. For the inference "Traditional Polynesian navigators generally did not use written documents to record information", the text evidence "They also relied on memorization to keep track of important details about their locations. The techniques and findings of skilled navigators were then passed down orally, often in song." supports it as it shows they used memorization and oral tradition (not written documents) to record and pass on information.

Answer:

  • The ability to navigate helped Polynesian communities obtain resources that were necessary for survival: "By using this complex travel system, Polynesian communities were able to find food, fresh water, and wood and to relocate whole populations to new islands."
  • Polynesian navigators had a deep connection with the natural world: "Instead, they navigated by paying close attention to elements of the environment, such as the positions of the stars, the behavior of sea birds, the direction of ocean currents, and patterns of cloud formation over islands."
  • Traditional Polynesian navigators generally did not use written documents to record information: "They also relied on memorization to keep track of important details about their locations. The techniques and findings of skilled navigators were then passed down orally, often in song."
