Answer 1

The statement "There was a trend of migration within the U.S. from urban to rural cities" correctly evaluates the cause of increased migration to the U.S.

Answer 2

Based on the population distribution shown in the table, the correct statement that evaluates the cause of increased migration to the U.S. is:

There was overseas migration from Europe and Asia to U.S. port towns.

Answer 3

To evaluate the cause of increased migration to the U.S. based on the population distribution shown in the table, we can observe the changes in the percentage of urban and rural populations over time.

From the table, we can see that the percentage of urban population increased while the percentage of rural population decreased throughout the years. In 1800, only 6% of the population was urban, but by 1900, this had increased to 40%. Conversely, the percentage of rural population decreased from 94% in 1800 to 60% in 1900.

Based on this information, we can eliminate options that suggest the Industrial Revolution created more agricultural jobs over time or created more jobs in rural than urban areas since the data shows a decline in the rural population over time.

We can also eliminate the option that suggests there was overseas migration from Europe and Asia to U.S. port towns because the table does not provide information about migration from other countries.

Therefore, the correct statement that evaluates the cause of increased migration to the U.S. based on the given table is: There was a trend of migration within the U.S. from urban to rural cities.
