Read this excerpt about angel island, an immigration station in the 1900s.

located in san francisco bay in northern california, angel island opened in 1910 to process a wave of european immigrants expected to come through the panama canal. but when world war i began, the wave never came.

however, immigration from across the pacific ocean rose to crises around the world. these included the civil war in mexico, the russian revolution, the massacre of armenians, the japanese invasion of china, and worldwide effects of the great depression. more than half the immigrants came from china or japan. in spite of the odds, america still offered the hope for a better future.

angel island was called the “ellis island of the west.” but from the start, it was more like a detention center than an immigration center. the roughly one million immigrants entering the united states through angel island were processed but not welcomed.

what does this excerpt explain about this setting?

a. many immigrants arrived at angel island during world war i, because the station was located near europe.
b. many immigrants came to angel island from china and japan, because the station was located near the pacific ocean.
c. people from panama came to angel island, because it was located near the panama canal.
d. people from ellis island came to angel island, because it was called the “ellis island of the west.”
