This is a subjective question, so there are certainly no "right" answers. Here are some close-examination strategies:
- Read the text through quickly, and then re-read more slowly until you feel that you understand what the text's purpose is and how each sentence contributes to a greater understanding.
- Highlight key words or phrases that show what the text's theme/topic/focus is.
- Examine the way information is presented. Is it scholarly, humorous, uncertain, etc?
- Is the text part of a larger work? If so, why is this excerpt significant? If not, then why is it meaningful standing alone?
- Research the author/person who created the text. Find out what drove them to write it or what they were trying to do.
- Is there a specific audience that the text is intended for? This relates to prior questions, but you could go deeper as well and look at how the text makes you feel, or whether you have learned a new way of thinking about something.
You can learn a lot by examining a text from different perspectives, including the typical characteristics of-- who, what, when, where, why, how?

Answer:
Ellis Island welcomed many new immigrants to the United States.
Explanation:
Ellis Island is an island in the Port of New York and New Jersey at the mouth of the Hudson River. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the port on the island was the arrival point for many of the immigrants who came to the United States. Individuals with chronic illnesses or who showed signs of fatal illness were denied entry and were allowed to return. Many of these immigrants settled during their first years in New York and northern New Jersey. The port was opened January 1, 1892 and closed November 29, 1954. Over the years, 12 million immigrants passed the port, but 2% were not allowed to enter the United States and were sent home.
The island got its name after a Samuel Ellis, who owned the island in the 1770s. However, it came into state ownership in the early 1800s.
