Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids.
Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother. Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers -- a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty.
What best paraphrases the central idea of the excerpt?
It was noisy on the ship sailing to America. Immigrant parents and children made a lot of noise, especially when they got to the Statue of Liberty.
Immigrant families sailing to America were excited when they finally made it to the New York harbor. Everyone on board made happy noise as they reached the United States.
Everyone on board the ship was fighting to see the Statue of Liberty. Babies and mothers and fathers all cried because they couldnāt see it, because it was off to the left.
Immigrant children had to hold tightly to their parentsā hands. There was so much crowding and jostling on board the ship. If they didnāt stay close to their parents, they would fall off the boat.
