The two scenarios that represent pull factors of migration are:

  1. Nina moves to Honolulu in Hawaii because the city has a low crime rate. (This is a pull factor as it attracts her due to the positive attribute of safety.)

  2. Valerie is moving to New York from Alabama because of better wages. (This is also a pull factor as it attracts her due to the promise of improved economic opportunities.)

The other scenarios (Sandra, Tabrez, and Parveeza) represent push factors, as they involve leaving a location due to negative conditions.
