Question

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-smelling compartments. They slept in narrow bunks stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges, and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship company. Because steerage conditions were crowded and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as possible up on deck.The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.What concrete detail would most improve the excerpt?information on why the voyage was an ordealinformation on why being in America was worth the ordealdetails about how many people immigrated to America by steamshipdetails about how long the voyage to America took

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first choice is already in the excerpt. Not A

Maybe the second choice. My grandparents could have answered that question.

I don't think how many people immigrated is much of a choice. What we are interested in here is how they suffered to get to America.

The length of time is of interest, but the answer in my mind, is B
