During the rise of industrial America in the late 1800s, many people from different parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States because the country was seen as the land of economic opportunity. Many immigrants left their homes because of scarcity of land and jobs, crop failure, bad living conditions such as contaminated water, and rising taxes and famine. On the other hand, others came looking for personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution. Hoping for a better future, nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900.

answer: a

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
