Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Immigrants coming to United States would merge into American society is the correct answer.

The melting pot was a metaphor used in the context of American society back in 1780s. It began to be used in general sense after it was used in the play of the same title. Melting pot means the fusion of people of different cultures and nationalities becoming one with its society. Multiculturalists suggest that American society is like a salad bowl in which different cultures mix but still stay distinct.
