Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its unique cultural landscape and monumental moai statues [1]. Statement 1 is correct as the island is the easternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle in the South Pacific Ocean. It was settled by seafaring Polynesians who developed a distinct civilization. Statement 2 is also correct; the island was annexed by Chile in 1888 and remains a special territory of the South American nation. Administratively, it belongs to Chile's Valparaíso Region. Despite its extreme isolation—located over 3,700 kilometers from the Chilean mainland—its inhabitants are Chilean citizens who maintain their Polynesian heritage. Therefore, both statements regarding its geographic group and political status are accurate.
