Read the following excerpt from "The Four Hundred Year Old Woman" by Bharati Mukherjee and answer the following question.

Most immigrants hoped to live long lives in America.
Most immigrants disliked living in America.
Most immigrants felt old because they wanted to go to their homeland.
Most immigrants had experienced so much extreme change and uprooting, they felt like they had witnessed enough change to last several lifetimes.
