Read the paragraph.
By the end of the 1800s, there was a change in the nature of the immigrants coming to the United States. Immigration
from Northern Europe-England, Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia-declined, while immigration from Italy, Russia,
and Austria-Hungary grew. In fact, between 1900 and 1910, more than three-fourths of all immigrants came from
these three countries. Unfortunately, these countries were far removed England, the home of our founders, and the
immigrants who came from them were unfamiliar with England's language and traditions.
Which of the following best summarizes this paragraph objectively?
1 These new immigrants were not like the ones that built our great country. Most of the newcomers came from southern and
eastern Europe.
2 Unlike earlier immigrants, who came from northern and western Europe, the new immigrants of the late 1800s and early
1900s came mostly from southern and eastern Europe.
3 The new immigrants of the late 1800s and early 1900s came mostly from southern and eastern Europe, so they could not
fit in with Americans.
4 The founders of America came from England, but later immigrants came from other European countries and therefore did
not belong in the United States.
