Which sentence uses the underlined word correctly?

Answer
A

B
My mother emigrated from China and came to the United States.
C
Yuri plans to immigrate from Russia later this year.
D
I have always dreamed of leaving my homeland and emigrating to France.

Explanation

“Emigrate” means to leave one country to live in another, while “immigrate” means to enter a country to live there. In choice B, the mother emigrated from China, so the word correctly describes leaving China. Choice D uses “emigrating” with “to France”; it should say “immigrating to France.”
