Question

9. How were the "new" immigrants that arrived in America in the late 1800s different from earlier waves of immigrants? A. They were Protestants. B. Most spoke English. C. They tended to be Catholic and Jewish. D. Most came with their own money and training.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. they tended to be Catholic and Jewish.
A is incorrect because even before, most immigrants were Protestants from England. B is incorrect because most immigrants came from England so they obviously spoke English. D is incorrect because this wasn't a trait of the new immigrants only, but rather of the old ones too. However, what was different about them was their religion, which tended to be Catholicism and Judaism.
