@Maddie♥ what is the answer
To determine which statement is correct, we need to gather some information about the history of Australia and New Zealand.
The first statement, saying that Aborigines were the first people to settle Australia and New Zealand, is incorrect. While Aborigines were indeed the first people to settle Australia, they did not settle New Zealand.
The second statement, claiming that Aborigines were the first people in Australia and the Maori were the first people in New Zealand, is partially correct. Aborigines were indeed the first people in Australia, but the Maori were not the first people in New Zealand.
The third statement, stating that the Maori were the first people in Australia and Aborigines were the first people in New Zealand, is incorrect. The Maori were not the first people in Australia, and the Aborigines were not the first people in New Zealand.
The fourth statement, suggesting that both the Aborigines and the Maori descended from the Polynesians, the first people to settle Australia and New Zealand, is also incorrect. While the Polynesians did have some influence and interactions with both the Aborigines and the Maori, they were not the first people to settle in either Australia or New Zealand.
Therefore, the correct statement is the second one: Aborigines were the first people in Australia, and the Maori were the first people in New Zealand.
