Answer 1

The statement that best forms a theory explaining the Great Migration is:

Economic pull factors in the North were due to less European immigration and better job opportunities.

This reflects the motivations of many African Americans who moved northward to escape the oppressive conditions in the South and take advantage of the job opportunities that emerged in Northern cities during the early to mid-20th century.
