Identify the author’s main idea. Passage B: What had been a trickle in the 1820s–some 128,502 foreigners came to U.S. shores during that decade-became a torrent in the 1850s, with more than 2.8 million migrants to the United States. Although families and single women emigrated, the majority of the newcomers were young European men of working age. This vast movement of people, which began in the 1840s and continued throughout the nineteenth century, resulted from Europe’s population explosion and the new farming and industrial practices that undermined or ended traditional means of livelihood. Poverty and the lack of opportunity heightened the appeal of leaving home. As one Scottish woman wrote to an American friend in 1847, “We cannot make it better here. All that we can do is if you can give us any encouragement is to immigrate to your country.” Famine uprooted the largest group of immigrants: the Irish. In 1845, a terrible blight attacked and destroyed the potato crop, the staple of the Irish diet. Years of devastating hunger followed. One million Irish starved to death between 1841 and 1851; another million and a half emigrated. Although not all came to the United States, those who did arrived almost penniless in eastern port cities without the skills needed for good jobs. With only their raw labor to sell, employers, as one observer noted, “will engage Paddy as they would a dray horse.” Yet, limited as their opportunities were, immigrants saved money to send home to help their families or to pay for their passage to the United States. German immigrants, the second largest group of newcomers during this period (1,361,506 arrived between 1840 and 1859), were not facing such drastic conditions. But as Henry 8rokmeyer observed, “Hunger brought me … here, and hunger is the cause of European immigration to this country.”   –Gary 8. Nash et al., The American People, 6th ed., vol.

Paragraph C Issue: Family             In all societies, people have ways of organizing their relationships with other people, especially their primary relationships with kin. As children, our earliest and most influential interactions are with our parents, siblings, and other relatives. We rely on our families for all of our survival needs. Our families feed us, clothe us, and provide our shelter. They also help us adjust to the world around us, teaching us the behavior and attitudes that our culture expects, and they provide emotional support in both good times and bad. Many of our relatives continue as important economic and emotional supports throughout our lives. Even as adults, we can turn to our kin in networks of reciprocity, asking for aid in times of need. In turn, we may be asked to respond to their requests when they are in need. We may align ourselves with our relatives when they are engaged in disputes with others. We may expect loyalty from our kin when we are in conflict with neighbors or other community members. During personal or family crises, we may expect emotional support from our relatives. Together we celebrate happy occasions such as births and marriages, and we mourn the deaths of our kin. —Bonvillain, Cultural Anthropology, pp. 186–187 1. What is the main idea?

After reading each of the following paragraphs, select the choice that best answers each of the questions that follow. Paragraph A Issue: Social Networking and Privacy             When registering for online services under a screen name, it can be tempting to think your identity is a secret to other users. Many people will say or do things on the Internet that they would never do in real life because they believe that they are acting anonymously. However, most blogs, e-mail and instant messenger services, and social networking sites are tied to your real identity in some way. While your identity may be superficially concealed by a screen name, it often takes little more than a quick Google search to uncover your name, address, and other personal and possibly sensitive information. —Ebert and Griffin, Business Essentials, p. 188   1.
