By the late 19th century, Fiji had been ceded to which country?

The question is asking us which country had Fiji been ceded to by the late 19th century. If you look at Fiji's flag, you will see Union Jack, so it already suggests that it used to be a British colony. In fact, it became a British colony in 1874 and remained subjugated to the UK until 1970, when it achieved independence - so the answer is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (as it was known then)
