Answer:
to explain the feelings of worry experienced by an
immigrant family.
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Russell Freedman's book "The Immigrant Kids" which tells the story of late 1800s and early 1900s immigrant families arriving in America. Upon arrival, the kids underwent rigorous examinations in order to prevent them from bringing any contagious disease into the country.
However, this excerpt doesn't deal with description of the physical examination; it rather focuses on the fear and constant anxiety triggered by the possibility of a family member being banned from entering the country.
It strongly depicts that family worries never stopped, not even after reaching American soil.
What would happen to long-term health if everyone had access to clean water? Is a good rhetorical question because you don't need to answer it, just maybe think about it.
The correct option is D.
Ration refers to a fixed amount of a particular commodity which is officially allowed during a time of shortage such as the one experience during war time. A similar word that can be used instead of ration is portion.
