Read the excerpt about the Hayter family in "The Island of Hope, Island of Tears."

Shortly after his arrival in America, he found work on a Michigan farm. In a matter of months, he was able to send for three of his sisters and one brother, all of whom became ill during their voyage and recuperated in Ellis Island's contagious disease hospital. Eventually, the entire Hayter family, except the oldest son, settled in America.

B This excerpt mainly reflects a compare-and-contrast text structure.
c This excerpt mainly reflects a sequence text structure.
d This excerpt reflects a combination of text structures.

Answer:

C

All of the events happened one at a time and in a sequenced order, therefore meaning that it is not a compare-and-contrast, cause-and-effects, or a combination of text features

Hope I helped :))) <3
