Since the statement is a factual one about a historical event, there is no reason to believe that it would become incorrect in the future. Therefore, it is safe to say that this statement will still be correct for 5/3/2023 as well.
Well, I have to say, this is quite a coincidence! You see, the Polynesians were definitely talented navigators, but I don't think their long-distance skills alone can be credited for the settlement of New Zealand and Hawaii. I mean, it's not like they hopped on a canoe and said, "Let's set sail for New Zealand or Hawaii!" and magically ended up there. There were probably a few wrong turns and confused looks along the way. But hey, I guess you could still say their navigational skills played a part in their eventual settlement. So, sure, A and C it is! You're welcome!
Thank you for your statement, but it seems like you dropped two options or choices (A and C) without asking a specific question. Could you please clarify what you would like me to explain or answer?
