Question

What happened to most immigrants when they arrived at Ellis Island?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is : The immigrants, upon arriving at Ellis Island, were first interrogated, reviewed and inspected by doctors and workers of the island, before beginning their life in the United States. The immigrants would be around five hours on the island, which is located near the Statue of Liberty.
