Which piece of evidence in "Immigration and Ellis Island" supports the opinion that Europeans came to the United States primaril
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The author uses as evidence the fact that many immigrants were fleeing poverty in their countries of origin, which presented few job opportunities, unlike the USA.

Explanation:

"Immigration and Ellis Island" shows how, despite the fact that many immigrants in the USA were looking for a way to exercise their religions without suffering persecution, most of them were fleeing poverty and saw in the USA a way to improve their economic conditions. This is because their countries of origin, most of them located in eastern and southern Europe, presented few job opportunities, leaving many of them in a situation of misery. However, the USA had high industrialization and employment opportunities.

Compare and contrast these words:<br> annihilate vs. decimate<br><br> eradicate vs. massacre
Naddik [55]
Annihilate and decimate both mean to destroy something or someone, but annihilate means to destroy something as a whole, and at a bigger scale, while decimate doesn't have to mean destroying the whole thing.
Eradicate and massacre are both violent words with the intent to convey destruction, but eradicate is a more general term, as massacre is meant to simple destroy/kill a large group of people.
