The answer would be letter D - America was a land of possibility for many. The poem's theme is about the journey, and the symbol used is the Ellis Island. The speaker migrates with the dream of discovering a good life that is full of freedom. The beauty of Ellis Island represents a better living arrangement compared to what they had before.
