The correct answer is A.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was a United States federal law prohibiting all immigration of Chinese labor.

From 1870 to 1880, Chinese immigrants represented the largest group of nonwhite immigrants in the U.S. at the time.

The Chinese immigrants were mostly men and they provided cheap labor, often working on farms, railroad construction and in low-paying industrial jobs. They were seen as unfair economic competition by many Americans. They were blamed for low wages and reduced job opportunities and for bringing drugs, crime and prostitution to the States.

<em>To many, they posed an economic danger as they held job taken away from white Americans.</em>

How would you have responded to the rising Cold War tension?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

This is entirely opinionated, but I'll remind you how much tension the Cold War brought. You can answer it either as a citizen or a world leader, I think.

Explanation:

The Cold War brought fear into practically everyone. Everyone was second guessing their friends, families, neighbors, even bosses to being Communist spies. The fear of someone, even in the government, being a spy wreaked havoc in society. Television began broadcasting commercials of what to do if your neighbor is a spy, there were advertisements in the paper, you couldn't go anywhere without being reminded of the Cold War. No Russian was trusted at this time. Not to mention there was the fear of a nuclear attack. There were fallout shelters made in people's homes, schools, and community gathering places. Cartoons were made for children to teach them what they should do if a nuclear warhead were to hit. It was basically Hell.

Nubia provided each of the following items to the Egyptians except __________.
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

B. Papyrus

Explanation:

Egypt and Nubia were bordering with each other, so naturally they traded between each other. The Nubians had their empire located in a position through which the trade between sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa was going on. Sub-Saharan Africa had lot of attractive goods to offer, the Nubians were able to acquire them, and since they were demanded by the Egyptians, they were selling those goods to them. Some of the things that the Nubians provided for the Egyptians were Ivory, ebony, animal skins, and exotic animals as pets, precious metals etc. The papyrus was not one of the things that the Nubians provided to the Egyptians though, as the Egyptians had it in abundance so they were cultivating it by themselves.
