Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family's detention at Ellis Island:
My sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and Mother was told, "Well, we can't let her in."
This quotation adds credibility to the text because it comes from an actual immigrant whose experience agrees with Freedman’s statement that one out of every five immigrants was detained. it comes from an actual immigrant whose experience proves that no one was detained on Ellis Island. it comes from a young woman who was held on Ellis Island, which supports Freedman’s statement that one out of every five immigrants was detained. it comes from a mother whose daughter was detained because her eyes were red and bloodshot.
Answer:

The answer is entomology (choice B). Root words tell you the simplest word to find the meaning of, affixes are the additions to the root word that have a few typical meanings that allow you to adjust your definition. Etymology is about the origin of words, whether it is related to a place, or a person, or in a foreign language. However, entomology is the study of insects and does not help one understand word meanings.
