Question 45:
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): \ꞌIna a au ___ ko \ꞌavai atu ki a koe i a Puakiva.
Gloss (with missing item): NEG PROP 1SG ___ NEG.IPFV give away to PROP 2SG ACC PROP Puakiva
The English translation of this sentence is:‘I won’t give Puakiva to you.’
