Read the sentences from the "Ellis Island Oral History Project" excerpt.

And they'd hear that music coming out, you know, they'd call us "foreigners" and things like that because of that music. And I used to go home and tell my mother, "Shut it off," or "Stop that music. Everybody thinks we're . . ." and that I distinctly remember because we didn't want to, and I love that music now myself but at that time, you know, they always think you're, they always looked upon you as being not native, you know.

Which information would the reader most likely want to know after reading this account from Armen Jermakian?

why his mother played Armenian and Turkish music
if acting like a native was important to him
when he learned to love Armenian and Turkish music
why people called him a "foreigner"
