The Morris Abraham Schneider give readers a better understanding of the immigrants' voyage to America in the "Ellis Island Oral History Project" excerpt by explaining the conditions of the steerage.

Option: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Morris Abraham Schneider indicated that steerage was one big spot. It was the smallest deck. The stench, it was the summer, in August, the humidity, the sun, not having air conditioning, cooling facilities, it was really hot, exacerbated by the reality that in this massive cavernous environment there must have been two to three hundred people everywhere.

He also added that there was no such thing as washing or bathing, the body smells, the body odors, the lack of hygiene, the lack of any form of facilities. The stench, the vermin, had been infested with rodent, but he thought that being kids had its benefits, in this case because normally adult were just trying to get out of there.
