Read the paragraph.[1] By the end of the 1800s, there was a change in the nature of the immigrants coming to the United States. [2] Immigration from Northern Europe—England, Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia—declined, while immigration from Italy, Russia, and Austria-Hungary grew. [3] In fact, between 1900 and 1910, more than three-fourths of all immigrants came from these three countries. [4] Unfortunately, these countries were far removed from England, the home of our founders, and the immigrants who came from them had a hard time adjusting to life in their new country.Which sentence in the paragraph does not include facts to support the main ideas of the paragraph?
Sentences 1–3 give factual information about how the sources of immigration changed and how many immigrants came from Italy, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. Sentence 4 makes unsupported judgments: that those countries were “far removed” from the founders’ home and that immigrants from them had a hard time adjusting. Therefore, sentence 4 does not provide factual support for the paragraph’s main ideas.
