Explanation

The excerpt describes immigrants being questioned by a registration clerk after the medical screening. The questions covered their name, nationality, job, literacy, prison history, money, and destination, and some people had to rest before trying again. This supports the idea that immigrants were asked many questions before being allowed into the United States.
