Answer:
A. Immigrants were diagnosed with a disease.
Explanation:
In this passage, we learn that immigrants were held at Ellis Island while they were physically examined. If the doctors found a person had a communicable disease, they were hospitalized in the island. This means that the immediate cause of hospitalization was being diagnosed with a disease. This was most likely a measure that fulfilled two purposes. On the one hand, it provided treatment to sick people. On the other hand, it tried to prevent the spread of contagious diseases to the population at large.
It would be “What have I done, that thou darest wag thy tongue/ in noise so rude against me.
A) Fear appeals to the desire to be safe. To clarify, appeal to fear means presenting alternatives, one of which causes fear in order to force the person to choose what you would like them to choose.
B) False Dichotomy gives two choices, one of which is not truly an option. In false dichotomy, the alternatives do not exclude each other. They overlap, which means the person isn't really presented with a real opportunity to choose.
C) Slippery slope claims that one action leads to a series of undesirable events. This fallacy suggests that an insignificant first event might lead to another event, that might lead to yet another one and so on until, ultimately, a grand or disastrous event would happen in consequence of that first, small one.
D) Popularity claims something is true because most people agree. This fallacy basically states that, if everyone is doing it, then it's because it is the right thing to be done.
E) Post Hoc incorrectly assumes that one event causes another. This fallacy assumes that temporal succession establishes a connection between events. That is, if this event came after that one, it must be its consequence.
The definition of the capitalized word in the statement is "lessen". In this context, the sentence is saying that the rivers cannot lessen the love of that person.
