Answer:
The answer is B. Ellis Island was an important step on the way to American citizenship. Not everyone made it through the examinations.
Explanation:
The option that best paraphrases the central idea of the given excerpt is option B.
The excerpt tells us about how immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island before being admitted to the United States. There, they had to pass exams in order to be accepted. Otherwise, they would be detained or sent back to Europe. The possibility of this happening made many immigrants anxious. Option B paraphrases this information best.
Option A is incorrect because Ellis Island isn't called Heartbreak Island because of medical issues people had there.
Option C states what Ellis Island was. It mentions the exams, but not their results, which is important.
Option D doesn't tell us what Ellis Island is, and immigrants who didn't pass examinations weren't sent to live there.
I believe the answer is the first choice, which is motion.
It means “It is time to eat”

"Teaching an old dog new tricks"

"Play by ear" means you improvise as you go. (Playing an instrument after hearing a song immediately).
"Teaching an old dog new tricks" means sometimes it's hard to teach someone something new if they become set in stone about something. (After a dog has passed a certain age it may be harder to teach it tricks).
