## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify one difference between Angel Island and Ellis Island. Both Angel Island and Ellis Island were significant entry points for immigrants to the United States, but they served different purposes and had different immigrant populations.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Ellis Island, located in New York Harbor, was the busiest immigrant inspection station in the United States from 1892 to 1954. It primarily processed immigrants from Europe. The majority of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island were from countries in Europe, particularly Italy and Eastern European countries.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Angel Island, located in San Francisco Bay, was the entry point for immigrants, mainly from Asia, who were entering the United States from 1910 to 1940. The majority of immigrants who passed through Angel Island were from Asian countries, particularly China.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The options provided in the problem are:<br />A. Immigrants from Europe generally passed through Angel Island while immigrants from Asia generally passed through Ellis Island.<br />B. Immigrants who had jobs passed through Ellis Island to gain entry to the United States, while immigrants who were unemployed passed through Angel Island.<br />C. Immigrants from Europe generally passed through Ellis Island while immigrants from Asia generally passed through Angel Island.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option A is incorrect because it reverses the historical facts. Option B is also incorrect as there is no historical evidence to suggest that the employment status of immigrants determined which island they passed through. Option C is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the historical fact that Ellis Island primarily processed European immigrants, while Angel Island processed Asian immigrants.
