Question

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.

My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.

Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother. Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers -- a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty.

Which detail best supports the idea that arriving in America was a great relief after the long voyage?

Immigrant passengers were very crowded on the ship’s deck.
Immigrant passengers were afraid of being separated.
Immigrant passengers made noise when they saw the Statue of Liberty.
Immigrant passengers held tightly to their families.

Answer 1

Immigrant passengers made noise when they saw the Statue of Liberty.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Immigrant Kids' is a book written by Russell Freedman. The book is about the life of immigrant children in America who had to work by selling newspapers, deliver goods, etc.

The detail that supports the notion that immigrants were greatly relieved after the long voyage is when they saw the Staue of Liberty. After seeing the Statue of Liberty, the immigrants shouted with joy and made noises. Passengers jabbered after seeing the Statue of Liberty.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
