Answer:

He wasn't sure what really happened.

Explanation:

Walter Lord was among those involved in the wreck of a large ship known as Titanic.

It was made known that, the six lookouts, that was the people monitoring the movement and watching the route the ship was following, did not known that the side of the ship had hit the iceberg because they saw that the front of the ship was okay.

This did not make them to raise the alarm until the ship was beginning to sink.

That was why also, Walter Lord was reluctant or delay to add the quotation to his account.

Based on the chart, what best explains the decrease in immigration to the United States from 1911-1930? Select one:

andrew11 [14]

The reason there was a decrease in immigration from 1911 - 1930 was because of A. Increased restrictions on immigration by the Federal Government

From the period before the First World War began up till 1930, some Americans began to call for a limit to immigration.

The federal government responded by limiting immigration through ways like:

the Quota system - only a certain number of people were allowed in from certain countries annually
literacy tests - immigrants had to pass literacy tests to be allowed into the country

This led to a decrease in the number of people being allowed into the U.S. and so led to a decrease in immigration.

We can therefore conclude that the efforts of the Federal government were the reason the immigration rates of those years decreased.
