Solution

The correct option is B Settled in cities

The Irish settled in cities. The Irish had been poor tenants who grew potatoes in gardens around their cottages for their food. They were not skilled workers or farmers in the usual sense. They were mostly Catholics who settled in New York, Boston, and other Northern cities. Cities had become industrialized, resulting in there being lots of jobs in the cities. The Irish that had immigrated were desperate for jobs so they could feed their families as they were escaping the horrific Irish potatoes famine.
