Question 43:
You are a linguist specializing in Rapa Nui. You are given a sentence along with its morpheme breakdown, gloss, and translation. Words are separated by spaces, and morphemes are separated by hyphens. However, a word and its gloss are missing and represented by an underscore. Based on your understanding, please choose the most appropriate option. 
Sentence (with missing item): ___ ko \ꞌavai e au e tahi taŋata i tā\ꞌaku poki.
Gloss (with missing item): ___ NEG.IPFV give AG 1SG NUM one person ACC POSS.1SG.A child
The English translation of this sentence is:‘I won’t give my child to anybody.’
