Answer 1

The most accurate response is: They couldn't afford to move out of the cities they arrived in.

Many immigrants from southern and eastern Europe arrived with limited financial resources and often settled in urban areas where they could find jobs and affordable housing. Cities provided opportunities for work in factories and other industries, but moving to suburban or rural areas often required more resources than they had at their disposal.
