Read the excerpt from "Ellis Island.”

"We lived there for three days—Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old,” recalled Angelo Pellegrini, whose family moved from Italy when he was 10. "Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do?”

Along with everyone else, Angelo’s family was examined for contagious diseases, such as chicken pox, measles, mumps, scarlet fever, and tuberculosis. If an illness could be treated, the sick were hospitalized on the island. About 2 percent were sent back to where they came from.

Which illustration would best give readers a clearer understanding of the text?

an illustration of a patient with chicken pox
an illustration of a hospital room at Ellis Island
an illustration of an eye chart for a physical exam
an illustration of the medicine used to treat mumps
