automobiles

Explanation:

Identify the historical context of Eastern European immigration

Late 19th and early 20th-century immigration from Eastern Europe to America relied heavily on transoceanic travel.

Evaluate the options based on transportation technology

• Automobiles: Used for land travel, not transoceanic voyages.
• Printing press: A communication technology, not transportation.
• Railroads: Used for overland travel within continents, making it the only viable option among the choices to help immigrants travel across land to European ports and within America.
• Sailboats: Older technology, not a "new invention" of this era that made travel cheaper and faster.

Answer:

• Automobiles
• Printing press
• Railroads (Correct answer)
• Sailboats
