C) "During the 1300s, a secret passage helped free an English king who was taken captive by his enemies."

Explanation:

<u>A topic sentence must convey the idea of the whole paragraph.</u> <u>In that sense the paragraph here works on the idea of secret passages being historically significant</u> in the important events that changed the course of history.

Thus either the first sentence of the paragraph or this sentence fit the description stated above. Out  of all the options given this statement directly refers to the theme and thus is the topic sentence.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The details about the inspections immigrants faced best fit in a presentation about the experience of coming to America:

B. in a discussion of the experiences immigrants faced while going through Ellis Island.

Explanation:

Ellis Island was an immigrant station between the years of 1892 and 1954. Immigrants who had just arrived in America were supposed to be inspected in Ellis Island, undergoing examinations and interviews. Some got so nervous they were not even able to answer the questions. With that in mind, if we were to talk about the details of those inspections, the best place to do it would be in a discussion about the immigrants' experiences in Ellis Island.
