Answer: e. None of the above are false. They are all TRUE.

Explanation:

Until 1880 most immigrants came from the British Isles, Germany, and Scandinavia. After that, a growing proportion of newcomers came from southern Italy, the Turkish empire, Greece, Russia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. By 1896 the new immigration exceeded the old one for the first time.

Finding a job was the main reason for immigrants to come to the US, and that's why they ended up in the big cities, where there were more chances for employment.
