The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was passed to severely restrict immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe. The threat of Communism came from there. Option C is correct.

The Emergency Quota Act was implemented primary as a reaction to the large influx of Jews fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe and thus successfully restricted their immigration and that of other "undesirables" into the United States. The Act marked in the long run the major turning-point in American immigration policy since it provided two new features to American immigration law: numerical limits on immigration and the use of a quota system for establishing those limits.

docker41 [41]

The Fair Employment Practice Committee (FEPC) was responsible for preventing job discrimination in US defense industries, which primarily affected African American workers (D).

The FEPC was created in 1941 following the United States' entry into World War II, in order to implement President Franklin D. Roosevelt's desire to ban "discriminatory employment practices by Federal agencies and all unions and companies engaged in war-related work."

In theory, it targeted various minorities and was meant to help them get jobs (especially higher-skilled jobs) to participate in the war effort. In practice though, African Americans in particular benefited from the FEPC. Prior to the creation of the Committee, they often were stuck with low-skilled jobs that paid very little.

It is believed that the FEPC played a large role in the important economic improvements black men experienced during the fourties.
