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. Jabbered 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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jabbered 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.

I think this detail is what you want. It shows great wonder and jubilation when they finally saw the Statue of Liberty. All of the other choices are true but this one shows their response and what they were looking at when they arrived.

By the way, you've offered 100 points. That can't be done unless you do it when you first propose the question. Even then, the person answering it will only get 50.

Five points is all we get.
