※ 引述《ivan1209 (低調不忘高調)》之銘言：
: Pacific islanders ere variously thought to have come from North America, South America, Egypt, Israel, and India, as well as Southeast Asia. ■Many older theories implicitly deprecated the navigational abilities and overall cultural creativity of the Pacific islanders. ■For example, British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry assumed that only Egyptians would have been skilled enough to navigate and colonize the Pacific. ■They inferred that the Egyptians even crossed the Pacific to found
: the great civilizations of the New World (North and South America). ■In 1947 Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl drifted on a balsa-log raft westward with the winds and currents across the Pacific from South America to prove his theory that Pacific islanders were Native Americans (also called American Indians).
: Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
: Later theories concentrate on journeys in the other direction.

: 可以幫我講解一下這題嗎??

: 沒辦法完全掌握
: 不過這些基本題不拿到要答對超過10題真的有點難
插句子要看前後邏輯連貫(轉折與、conjunction,代名詞, 前後的主詞名詞與插入句相關)

這題很明顯提到之前的理論和後來的理論
Many older theories...
For example,
British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry assumed that
only Egyptians would have been skilled enough to navigate and
colonize the Pacific. ■ They inferred that the Egyptians even
crossed the Pacific to found the great civilizations of the New World
(North and South America). //(到此就理論的闡述結束)
(PS. 顏色相同的標示是相同名詞、代名詞)

Later theories concentrate on journeys in the other direction...(新理論闡述)....

"journeys in the other direction":
The old theory indicates Pacific islanders have come from Egypt, while
the later theory shows they originate from North America.
