Answer:
Eliminating immigration from Asia, it also limited immigration from Europe, Russia and Italy in particular.
Explanation:
The sentence chosen wrongly separates the subject from the predicate with a comma and introduces the pronoun <em>it </em>when it is not unnecessary. The reason for that is that the sentence already contains a subject: <em>Eliminating immigration from Asia</em>. As a result, the use of the pronoun <em>it </em>immediately after the subject is not required. Thus, the correct version of the sentence is the following:
<em>Eliminating immigration from Asia also limited immigration from Europe, Russia and Italy in particular.
</em>

Figurative language is used for expressions and figures of speech. An example would be "It's raining cats and dogs." Literal language is used more for formal language. An example would be "It's raining very hard."
Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.
I hope this helps!
