Most arriving immigrants were there for only a short three to five hours. First, they had to submit to a quick medical exam. The doctors at Ellis Island were skilled at conducting 'six-second physicals' during which they could diagnose various conditions with just a glance. After passing the medical exam, immigrants were subjected to a legal exam to ensure that they would be able to support themselves in the United States. Although most immigrants passed these two tests, some did not." Which of these sentences from the excerpt is a not a minor supporting detail?
