Yes, OK!
But I made a mistake for b, sorry (so who's stupid, now?). Forget my "more past" tense comment, please... It should be "were living" (not had lived).

Sorry, I don't agree with c and e. With "for", you can't use the simple past.

PieanneSorry, I don't agree with c and e. With "for", you can't use the simple past.Sure you can - at least in spoken English. With C we know that they still live there so it can't be LIVED i..e. simple past.

Sure, you can use the simple past with "for", but in a different meaning: "he went to New Zealand for 2 months" (with the intention of staying 2 months).
But here, in c & e, the maori are still living in N. Z., and the schools are still teach teaching the maori language, so the simple past doesn't apply.
