(2) Then, in the second half of the 19th century, a flood of immigrants began to arrive in America. Most of these newcomers came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station located in New York Harbor. Lacking the means or desire to move any farther, many of these immigrants settled where they landed—in New York City. Their large numbers overwhelmed an already crowded city. The streets became clogged with people and various types of streetcars vying for space on the roads. ​ Part A
In paragraph 2, why does the author include the fact that most immigrants coming to America came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station?​

A. to support a claim about how popular New York was at the time

B. to support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased

C. to support a claim about how superior New York's transportation system was at the time

D. to support a claim about how important it was for New York to have quick transportation out of the city

B. To support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased.

Explanation:

In the given passage about the surge of immigrants in America, the author includes how most of the immigrants came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station. This New York harbor would be the main point of entry for most of the "newcomers".

By including this information about the station, the author is providing support to the claim that New York City is "overwhelmed" by the surge in the immigrants who settled on the place they landed- New York. So, the city became more crowded, although it was already crowded, with "various types of streetcars vying for space on the roads." This added to the increased population of the city.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

B. To support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased.

a because they still enjoy the fire.

explanation:

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
