Question

a transatlantic ship entering new york harbor in the 1920s most likely carried the largest number of immigrants from which country? ireland canada china italy

Explanation:

In the 1920s, before restrictive U.S. immigration laws (like the Immigration Act of 1924) fully took effect, Italian immigration to the U.S. peaked, with large numbers arriving via New York Harbor. Earlier waves from Ireland had slowed, while immigration from Canada and China was far smaller during this period due to prior restrictions (like the Chinese Exclusion Act) or lower migration rates.

Answer:

D. Italy
