question 6 of 10
if someone is a \second generation\ immigrant, what does that mean?

a. that their parents were the ones who moved here
b. that their grandparents immigrated to america during world war ii
c. that they are the parents of recent immigrants
d. that they have left the united states to return to their home country

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of a "second - generation" immigrant, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A second - generation immigrant is defined as someone whose parents are the immigrants (the ones who moved to the new country). This matches the definition.
• Option B: If grandparents were the immigrants, the person would be a third - generation immigrant (or more), and the mention of World War II is also irrelevant to the general definition of second - generation.
• Option C: If they are the parents of recent immigrants, they would be first - generation immigrants (as they are the ones who had children in the new country, and their children would be second - generation). So this is incorrect.
• Option D: Leaving the United States to return to the home country is emigration, not related to the definition of a second - generation immigrant.

Answer:

A. That their parents were the ones who moved here
