Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C)

Explanation: Most Irish immigrants stayed in the big cities of the eastern United States upon arrival. The vast majority arrived in New York City. They formed ethnic enclaves in Boston, Providence, Hartford, New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore. In the following decades, they did spread out to the sorrounding countryside, the midwest and the western United States, but the process was slow and took several generations.
