a. Were drawn to the abundant land available.

b. Eventually returned to their home countries.

c. Lived in Chinatowns in large cities.

d. Never learned how to speak English.

Answer:- b. Eventually returned to their home countries.

The correct answer is ‘eventually returned to their home countries.’ Between 1880 and 1920, more than 25 million immigrants came to the United States. The majority of these immigrants came from Southern and Eastern Europe, and they were known as the “new” immigrants. Many of these new immigrants were drawn to the United States by the promise of economic opportunity and religious freedom. However, many of them also faced discrimination and prejudice from native-born Americans. As a result, almost half of the new immigrants who came to the United States in the late 1800s eventually returned to their home countries.
