Question

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell

Freedman.
Which detail best supports the idea that being
interviewed at Ellis Island was very stressful for the
immigrants?
Those who failed to get past both doctors had to
undergo a more thorough medical exam. The others
moved on to the registration clerk, who questioned
them with the aid of an interpreter: What is your name?
Your nationality? Your occupation? Can you read and
write? Have you ever been in prison? How much
money do you have with you? Where are you going?
Some immigrants were so flustered that they could not
answer. They were allowed to sit and rest and try
again.
O Immigrants sometimes were exhausted and hungry
after the voyage
O Some immigrants got so nervous that they couldn't
answer the questions.
O Clerks at Ellis Island asked if immigrants could read
and write
O The registration clerk used an interpreter to question
immigrants
