Question

Most of the immigrants who came to the United States in the late 1800s
often returned to their home countries.
were skilled laborers and merchants.
were either Protestant or Catholic.
came to seek farming opportunities.

Answer 1

Most of the immigrants who came to the United States in the late 1800s were often seeking new opportunities, including jobs in industrial cities, rather than specific farming opportunities. Many of them were unskilled or semi-skilled laborers, and some did indeed return to their home countries after a period of time. While there were immigrants from various religious backgrounds, including Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish, it is not accurate to generalize that they were either Protestant or Catholic. Ultimately, there were diverse motivations and backgrounds among these immigrants.

If you are looking for the best answer among the options provided, "came to seek farming opportunities" is less accurate compared to the broader motivations of seeking jobs in industries. So, nothing perfectly fits, but the immigrant experience during that time was complex and varied.
