The conclusion that can be reached from the two texts is that immigration was challenging for many.
To answer the question, we need to analyze the information provided in the two texts, "Designed to Detain" and "In Their Own Words." Let's go through the texts to find evidence for each option:
1. People chose to go to Angel Island over Ellis Island:
- To determine if people preferred Angel Island over Ellis Island, we need to look for specific information in the texts that supports this claim. However, there is no mention of people actively choosing one island over the other in either of the texts, so we can eliminate this option.
2. Traveling by ship is quick and easy:
- Neither text directly discusses the speed or ease of traveling by ship; therefore, we can eliminate this option.
3. Immigration was challenging for many:
- The text "Designed to Detain" focuses on Angel Island, which served as an immigration station, and describes the strict security measures and detention conditions that immigrants faced there. This provides evidence that immigration was challenging.
- Likewise, "In Their Own Words" includes personal accounts from immigrants who described their experiences at Angel Island, expressing difficulties and challenges they encountered during the immigration process.
- Both texts support the idea that immigration was challenging for many immigrants, so this option seems to be the most accurate.
4. Life in America is easier than in other countries:
- The texts do not compare life in America to life in other countries. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
Based on the evidence from the texts, the most accurate conclusion that can be reached is: Immigration was challenging for many.
