Read this excerpt about Angel Island, an immigration station in the 1900s. Located in San Francisco Bay in northern California,

Angel Island opened in 1910 to process a wave of European immigrants expected to come through the Panama Canal. But when World War I began, the wave never came. However, immigration from across the Pacific Ocean rose thanks to crises around the world. These included the civil war in Mexico, the Russian Revolution, the massacre of Armenians, the Japanese invasion of China, and worldwide effects of the Great Depression. More than half the immigrants came from China or Japan. In spite of the odds, America still offered the hope for a better future. Angel Island was called the “Ellis Island of the West.” But from the start, it was more like a detention center than an immigration center. The roughly one million immigrants entering the United States through Angel Island were processed but not welcomed.
What does this excerpt explain about this setting?\

Many immigrants arrived at Angel Island during World War I, because the station was located near Europe.

Many immigrants came to Angel Island from China and Japan, because the station was located near the Pacific Ocean.

People from Panama came to Angel Island, because it was located near the Panama Canal.

People from Ellis Island came to Angel Island, because it was called the “Ellis Island of the West.”

The correct answer is many immigrants came to Angel Island from China and Japan, because the station was located near the Pacific Ocean. This is the best answer because people from Asia made up a large portion of the immigrants arriving at Angel Island. The other answers are not good choices because people from Ellis Island did not come to Angel Island. Also people didn't just arrive because of World War I. There were many different disasters, wars, and social upheaval that cause many people to migrate to the U.S. They had expected Europeans to come through the Panama canal during the war, but it never occured.

Answer:

Many immigrants came to Angel Island from China and Japan, because the station was located near the Pacific Ocean.

Explanation:

The excerpt explains that Angel Island was established in order to receive immigration from Europe through the Panama Canal. However, contrary to expectations, this never took place. Instead, the immigrants that arrived to Angel Island were from China and Japan, because the station provided an entrance to the United States near the Pacific Ocean.

How can rhetorical comparisons be used in persuasive writing?
gavmur [86]
Rhetoric usually works through the emotive, or rhetorical force of words and phrases<span>—the emotional associations they express and elicit. Rhetoric is used to influence our beliefs and attitudes. In fact, rhetoric can be more effective than argument when it comes to influencing someone’s belief’s and attitudes. But it shouldn’t be. Rhetoric may be psychologically powerful, but by itself it establishes nothing.</span>

Read the passage.
8090 [49]

The correct answer would be C. Between classes, during lunch, and sometimes on the bus.

The passage clearly states that cell phones must be in their lockers or vehicles, so cell phones cannot be used during class. It also states that cell phone use is acceptable if it does not distract others or affect their punctuality.

Lastly, the passage states the cell phone use on the bus is determined by the bus driver, so you would be able to sometimes use your phone on the bus.

Hope this helps!
