the late 1800s america was seen as the land of opportunity and new york city as the gateway. after the civil war in 1865, america began to emerge as a country where discrimination existed but where freedom was promised to all who entered. as the united states economy grew, other countries economies weakened. many european countries suffered from economic hardship. crop failure, resulted in loss of jobs and hunger. although poverty became a problem in europe which fueled mass migration, it was not the only obstacle europeans faced.
religious and political freedom were two of the reasons for the colonization of the new world. in the late 1800s religious and political freedom were again a factor in a migration of millions. italy was one of the countries that lacked religious freedom. the ruling catholic church imposed their beliefs on all italians. new york city was a haven for all people from all religions and all nationalities. the instability of the italian government caused italians to flee, many of who later replaced irish in laborer jobs. similar to the italians, were the eastern europeans who also had a shortage of jobs due to the industrial revolution, which caused many jobs to become replaced by machines.

Explanation:

The text clearly states "The late 1800s America was seen as the land of opportunity and New York City as the gateway". It mentions religious and political freedom as factors for migration but doesn't say America was seen as the land of religion. There is no mention of America being seen as the land of revolution. And gateway refers to New York City, not America as a whole.

Answer:

B. opportunity
