Question

Read the paragraph.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B: "Unlike earlier immigrants, who came from northern and western Europe, the new immigrants of the late 1800s and early 1900s came mostly from southern and eastern Europe."

Explanation:

The rest of the answer choices have subjective language like "our great country" (A), "could not fit in" (C), and "did not belong" (D). Answer choice B is the only objective summary of the passage.

Plus, it's right on edge. B is your answer.

Answer 2

The right answer is option A. Objectively speaking, the paragraph in question talks about both the eastern european origins of inmigrants coming into the U.S.A during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the hardship these encountered to adjust in their new country as opposed to former English settlers.

In this respect, option B, though a good partial summary of the paragraph, does not paraphrase it appropiately. Options D and C go slightly off topic as they misrepresents the idea of difficult adaptation.

Therefore, the only possible answer is A.
