Answer:The line from the text that best supports the central idea of Immigrants being treated poorly on their journey to a new life is c.Scowling and gesturing, they pushed and pulled the passengers, herding us into separate groups as though we were animals.

Explanation:

The central idea found in The Immigrant Kids was that immigrants were often treated poorly on their journey to a new life and this was buttressed by the line from the text which said that the immigrants were pushed and pulled and also herded into separate groups as if they were animals.

Being pushed and pulled by scowling men and herding immigrants like animals is an example of the poor treatment they faced most times on their journey to a new life.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

The imagery Bradbury uses in the line suggests:

The rain destroys the forests but they grow back.

Explanation:

The line we are supposed to analyze is:

<em>A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.</em>

The first option states the forests are overgrown, but the line makes it clear that the rain keeps on crushing, destroying the forests. Therefore, we can eliminate it.

The second option states the planet is covered with forests. However, for the same reason mentioned above, this is incorrect. The rain does not allow the forests to persist.

The fourth option states that the rain falls nonstop. This information is correct, but it is not the focus of the imagery in the specific line we are analyzing here. The focus is the forests, not the rain.

Thus, the third option is the best one. The forests do grow back. They are crushed again, that's for sure, but somehow they still manage to grow back.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

He was angry with the way Indians were treated by the Spanish and urged the Spanish authorities to show more humanity to them.

Explanation:

Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer and the first European to step foot into (what is now known as) Texas and from the day he arrived, he and his men faced continuous attacks by the Indians that were already there. Eventually, his men were overwhelmed and he was one of the four survivors of the expedition.

In 1536, the survivors were found and rescued by a Spanish slaving party, and when he returned to Spain for the first time, he was outraged by the treatment of Indians and asked that they be treated better.
