D. to educate the reader about polynesian people

Explanation:

Answer from: Jasten

The polynesian people are considered to be descendants of the seafaring austronesian people who themselves originated in the malaysian region of southeast asia. Polynesia is a subregion of oceania, located just northeast of australia and new zealand. Although polynesia is composed of over 1,000 islands, the people living on those islands share a similar culture, language, and ethnicity. Over 6,000 years ago, sailors and their families took to the seas in search of more lands. They scattered across the islands of the south pacific. The process these people used to navigate is yet unknown to anthropologists. Samoa and tonga are both american protectorates located in polynesia; Hawaii is also located there.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
