Answer 1

The most accurate response is:

They couldn’t afford to move out of the cities they arrived in.

Many immigrants from southern and eastern Europe arrived in urban areas due to the availability of jobs in factories and other industries, as well as the fact that they often lacked the financial means to move further away from where they initially settled. While there were also social and economic factors at play, the financial limitations played a significant role in their urban settlement patterns.
