    Correct Answer
    A. Symbol
    Explanation
    The word "symbol" can be defined as an object that represents something else. In the context of the given words, "migration," "citizen," "immigrant," and "opportunity," all of these words can be seen as symbols. Migration can symbolize movement or change, citizen can symbolize belonging or identity, immigrant can symbolize a person who is moving to a new country for a better life, and opportunity can symbolize a chance for growth or advancement. Therefore, the word "symbol" is the best fit for the given words.

  • 3. 

    Official member of a community

    • Citizen

    • Immigrant

    • Symbol

    • Migration

    • Opportunity

    Correct Answer
    A. Citizen
    Explanation
    A citizen is an official member of a community, typically a nation-state, who has certain rights and responsibilities within that community. Being a citizen implies that one has legal status and is recognized by the government as a member of the country. This status is usually acquired by birth or through a legal process such as naturalization.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A chance for something better to happen

    • Custom

    • Immigrant

    • Symbol

    • Opportunity

    • Citizen

    Correct Answer
    A. Opportunity
    Explanation
    Opportunity refers to a chance or possibility for something better to happen. It can be seen as a favorable or advantageous situation that allows individuals to achieve their goals or improve their circumstances. In this context, the other options (custom, immigrant, symbol, and citizen) do not directly relate to the idea of a chance for something better to happen, making opportunity the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Moving from one part of a county to live in another part

    • Culture

    • Custom

    • Migration

    • Citizen

    • Opportunity

    Correct Answer
    A. Migration
    Explanation
    Migration refers to the act of moving from one part of a country to live in another part. It involves the relocation of individuals or groups of people from one place to another within the same country. This movement can be due to various reasons such as seeking better opportunities, escaping conflict or natural disasters, or simply for a change in lifestyle. Migration often leads to cultural exchange and the blending of different customs and traditions, as people bring their own cultural practices to their new place of residence.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Group of people who have the same culture

    • Ethnic group

    • Ancestors

    • Immigrants

    • Citizens

    Correct Answer
    A. Ethnic group
    Explanation
    An ethnic group refers to a group of people who share a common culture, language, traditions, and sometimes ancestry. This group can be distinguished from others based on these shared characteristics. Therefore, the term "ethnic group" accurately describes a group of people who have the same culture. The other options, such as ancestors, immigrants, and citizens, do not specifically imply a shared culture and are not as fitting as the term "ethnic group" in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Way of doing things

    • Immigrant

    • Custom

    • Ancestor

    • Opportunity

    Correct Answer
    A. Custom
    Explanation
    Custom refers to the traditional way of doing things that is passed down from generation to generation. It is a set of behaviors, practices, and beliefs that are specific to a particular group or community. Immigrants often bring their customs with them when they move to a new country, as a way to preserve their cultural identity and traditions. Ancestor, on the other hand, refers to a person from whom one is descended, typically one more remote than a grandparent. Opportunity refers to a favorable or advantageous circumstance or situation.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. Statue of Liberty
    Explanation
    The Statue of Liberty was an important symbol to many immigrants because it represented freedom, hope, and a new beginning in America. It greeted immigrants as they arrived in New York Harbor and symbolized the opportunities and possibilities that awaited them in their new home. The statue's torch held high and the inscription on its pedestal, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," embodied the welcoming spirit of America and the promise of a better life for immigrants.
