Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.
Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-smelling compartments. They slept in narrow bunks stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges, and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship company. Because steerage conditions were crowded and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as possible up on deck.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.
What concrete detail would most improve the excerpt?
information on why the voyage was an ordeal
information on why being in America was worth the ordeal
details about how many people immigrated to America by steamship
details about how long the voyage to America took
