Question

Which of these is written in narrative mode?
A) The Statue of Liberty, which stands in New York Bay off the shores of New York City, greeted immigrants when they first arrived in the United States. The statue was a gift from France to recognize the friendship established between the two countries during the American Revolution.
B) Sara often wondered if the stories that her classmates told were true. Tom said that America had streets paved with gold. Marie said that no one in America ever went hungry. Sara wasn't sure if she should believe the stories, but if they were true, she thought, America must be the most wonderful place on Earth.
C) I have a lot of respect for immigrants who left their homelands to come to America and start over in a whole new place. I don't know that I would have the courage to leave behind everything I ever knew to go to a place where absolutely nothing was familiar. It must have been both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
D) Conditions for third- or fourth-class passengers on immigrant ships were less than desirable. Their provisions often included stale food, stagnant water, and uncomfortable beds. Many ships did not have enough bathroom facilities to accommodate the number of passengers on board. Immigrants endured these hardships, however, because they had grand hopes for a new life in America.
