Due to extreme poverty in italy between 1870 and 1930, almost 41/2 million italians - most of whom were farmers - immigrated to united states. The wave from italy reached its height in the 10 year span between 1920 and 1930, when italians comprised 12 percent of the total number of immigrants admitted to the united states. The majority of these italian immigrants were from southern italy and sicily, and upon their arrival, they settled along east coast, with the heaviest concentrations in cities such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia, though some made the arduos trip across the country to settle in northern california.
The statements above, if true, support which of the following?
A. The american descendants of those early italian immigrants outnumber the current population of italy.
B. Many American farmers today are descendants of italians.
C. The strong euro has contributed to the sharp decline in italian immigrants.
D. An Italian immigrant to america today is still likely to be from southern italy or sicily.
E. At the turn of the 19th century, the southern portion of italy was a prominent agricultural region.
