question 10 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 they have left the united states to return to their home
country

c. that their grandparents immigrated to america during world war
ii

d. that they are the parents of recent immigrants

Explanation:

In the context of immigration generations, a second - generation immigrant is defined as a person who is born in the destination country, and whose parents are immigrants (the ones who moved to that country). Option B is incorrect as it describes emigration, not the definition of a second - generation immigrant. Option C would refer to a third - generation immigrant (if the grandparents immigrated and the parents were born in the new country, then the person would be second - generation; but here the grandparents are said to have immigrated during WWII, so the parents would be first - generation in that case, and the person would be second - generation only if parents moved, so this option misrepresents). Option D is incorrect as it describes the person as parents of immigrants, which is not the definition of a second - generation immigrant.

Answer:

A. That their parents were the ones who moved here
