Read the following excerpt from "Ellis Island" by Barbara Davis-Pyle.

Then I smiled because all of the questions were over. The men asked Papa and Mama to read some Italian words from a book, and the official stamped our papers. Then he grinned and said in English, “Welcome to the United States of America!” And in that instant, joy won the fight on Mama’s face.
We were taken to a boat that would sail us across the harbor to the city and a brand new life. As I boarded I smiled up at Lady Liberty who stood tall with her spoon in hand, ready to stir us in.

Which main idea is conveyed in this excerpt?

The passage describes how the immigrant family is finally reaching their destination and being joyous about their future life in the United States.

We can read how the author is happy that they passed the questions, and how their papers are checked and stamped. The men welcome them into the US, and we read about their evident happiness and smiles that break upon their faces.

It is obvious that the whole journey was difficult and draining for the family, but we see how it all ended well. This is why they can feel the true, honest happiness at their victory and reach of the destination.
