the second answer choice is correct

Braniac · Answer 2

Sentence B. My mother "emigrated" from China and came to the United States uses the underlined word correctly. Emigrate means to leave one country to settle in another, and it implies a permanent move. On the other hand, immigrate is to enter and settle in a foreign country. The difference between these two words is that emigrate is the act of leaving a country and immigrate the act of entering a country.
