Question
The U.S. was still a new country in the nineteenth century. The promise of freedom, equality, and liberty attracted millions of immigrants from around the world. Before 1890, each state controlled its immigration. Between 1855 and 1890, one immigration station welcomed eight million European immigrants into New York State alone.
The migration was fueled by unrest in Europe. Laws limited religious freedom, and many governments and economies were in distress. This was especially true in Ireland. The potato famine caused more than one million Irish to leave home. It soon became clear that U.S. state governments could not handle the number of immigrants coming into the country.
In 1890 the federal government took control of all immigration systems. One immigration station was not large enough to take in thousands of immigrants each day. So the federal government built the very first federal immigration station on Ellis Island. The island’s size was doubled to over six acres to fit the large building.

The detail that does not support the inference that life in the U.S. was more attractive than life in Europe is:
“In 1890 the federal government took control of all immigration systems.”
This statement primarily describes a change in the management of immigration rather than providing information about the comparative attractiveness of life in the U.S. versus Europe. The other statements emphasize the challenges and distress in Europe that prompted migration, suggesting that life in the U.S. was more appealing in contrast.
