The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

"As soon as I stepped foot on American soil, I had to learn English to communicate, I had to change my clothing to fit in, and I had to adapt to all the unusual modern conveniences, such as the iron stove, which was not available where I came from." The concept of immigration life does the statement describe the concept of adaptation to the new customs of the country.

This is one of the most important aspects that immigrants must understand when they leave their native nations and immigrate to developed countries as is the case of teh United States. The new country has its unique culture, customs, and form of living, that most of the times are totally different from the traditional customs and culture in their native country.

Many times, this process of adaptation is too complicated for immigrants to the degree that they decide to return to their former country.
