The correct answer is C. An interpreter needed to convey the equivalent (or a close equivalent) of the words and meanings expressed by an alien immigrant and a United States Immigrant Inspector or other Ellis Island worker.
Explanation:
The main idea of a text is always the central point the author wants to convey. In the case of the excerpt presented, this focuses on the role of interpreters at the Ellis Island, especially their role to support the communication of immigrants and natives of the island. This idea is developed through supporting details such as "strong linguistic skills" or "the equivalent (or a close equivalent) of the words and meanings". According to this, the main point is best expressed in the sentence "An interpreter needed to convey the equivalent..." because this sentence directly states the role and importance of interpreters at Ellis Island, which is the focus of the text.
I think that Tom's values become a microcosm for values of American society. Tom's choices in this story are reflections of his valuing material wealth and financial prosperity over the well-being of others. He is more concerned with the loss of his valuable property than he is with the murder of his wife by Old Scratch. He shows no sympathy for those who come to him seeking loans, and instead bleeds them dry. Tom's values lie in the wrong place, and in the end he is punished for it. Tom embraces a a world of greed: the same world that the author sees America embracing. Tom Walker is known throughout the Charles Bay for his greed, and it is this greed that leads him to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for money. Tom's plight is meant to warn readers not to let greed blind them, for, as is the case in "The Devil and Tom Walker," it can have disastrous consequences.

The correct answer is A. </span>The word “that” is an adjective describing which one. It is an adjective because it goes with a noun and provides an additional information about it - in this case, it describes which piece of info, referring to the one that was already mentioned previously in the text. It doesn't describe the kind of information - we don't see that here. It can't be an adverb because describe verbs.
