Question 9 • FL-1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 A-CR
Read the sentence from "The Workers of Ellis Island."The clerks—both male and female—kept a running tabulation of the number of immigrants arriving at the island for inspection each day, the disposal of their cases and their subsequent departures.
Answer
A
that immigrants left Ellis Island once their cases were cleared
B
that the job of a clerk was a difficult one
C
how many immigrants entered the United States each day
D
how clerks kept their tabulations accurate
Explanation
The clerks tracked what happened to each immigrant’s case and recorded the immigrants’ later departures. This supports the idea that immigrants left Ellis Island after their cases were cleared; the sentence does not say how difficult the clerks’ work was or how they kept records accurate.
