Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America. Edward Corsi, [ . . .] was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907: "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."
How does this quotation add credibility to Freedman's line that the voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it?
Answer:
The quote comes from someone who, in addition to being an immigrant, was an immigration commissioner, which shows that Corsi knew what he was talking about, which is why his words add credibility to the article.
Step-by-step explanation:
A reliable source is one that has been produced by an expert who knows the subject very well. In the case of the text shown above, the quote by Edward Corsi is very relevant and adds credibility to the text. That's because Corsi, in addition to being an immigrant, is an immigration commissioner, which gives him vast knowledge of the trials that immigrants had to endure during their tragedies. That makes Corsi an expert.
