Answer
A
Michigan became a more diverse place.
B
Ford’s factories became an attractive destination for workers.
C
Detroit’s population exploded with the growth of a new auto industry.
D
Immigrants became less interested in coming to Michigan.
E
Ford’s programs encouraged more immigrant workers to come to Detroit and Michigan.
F
Fewer workers were encouraged to come to Detroit.

Explanation

Ford’s higher wages and worker programs made his factories attractive to many people seeking jobs. As the auto industry grew, workers—including immigrants—came to Detroit and Michigan, increasing the region’s diversity and helping Detroit’s population grow rapidly. The programs drew more workers rather than discouraging immigration or reducing migration to Detroit.
