Answer 1

Based on the data provided in the chart for the period 1881-1890, we can analyze each response option in light of the immigration figures:

A. People were no longer leaving countries in Northern Europe.

• This statement is not supported by the data. While some countries show fluctuations, most Northern European countries (e.g., Norway and Sweden) still have significant immigration numbers.

B. Asian peoples maintained their level of immigration to the U.S.

• This option is inaccurate as the immigration figures from China show a decrease from 123,201 in 1871-1880 to 61,711 in 1881-1890.

C. There was a sharp decrease in immigration from Southern Europe than in the previous ten years.

• This statement does not hold true. For Italy, immigration rose from 55,759 in 1871-1880 to 307,309 in 1881-1890, indicating an increase, not a decrease.

D. There was a drastic increase in immigration from Central and Eastern Europe than in the previous years.

• This statement is accurate. Countries such as Austria-Hungary, Russia, and others show significant increases in immigration numbers from the previous decade to 1881-1890.

Therefore, the correct deduction is D: there was a drastic increase in immigration from Central and Eastern Europe than in the previous years.
