Options:

  • A chose to live in areas populated mostly by American families.
  • B returned to their native countries after a few years.
  • C moved into neighborhoods with people from the same country.
  • D kept their native customs secret.

Answer: The correct answer is: C moved into neighborhoods with people from the same country.

Explanation: In the late 1800s, a lot of people from all over the world, decided to leave their countries and move to the United States because it was known and perceived as a nation of great economic opportunity. Some also came for political and religious freedom. Almost 12 million immigrants settled in the United States between 1870 and 1900.  The immigrants usually settled close to ports of entry but a large number settled inland. Many immigrants looked for ways to move to communities established by settlers from their homelands. They did this for many reasons, for example: they could hear their own language, `practice and keep their costoms, and eat tipical food from their country.
