In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was a law that prohibited Chinese workers from immigrating to the United States for ten years. This act was designed to halt Chinese immigrants from coming to the United States. However, it also prohibited Chinese immigrants from becoming U.S. citizens.

Explanation:

In the given sentence “In 1882..” the sentence already conveys that the law was passed to bar Chinese workers from immigrating to the US for the next ten years. Thus it would be inappropriate to repeat “act was designed..”.

Hence the revised passage would look like as provided below-

During the mid-1800s, the mid-nineteenth century, many various Chinese labourers came to the U.S. to start the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. After the railroad was completed, Chinese immigrants faced increasing amounts of prejudice and discrimination. Many native-born Americans felt that the Chinese were responsible for unemployment and decreasing wages. <u>In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, a law that prohibited Chinese workers from immigrating to the United States for ten years and becoming U.S. citizens.</u> The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first national legislation to restrict free immigration to the United States.

Gnom [1K]

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

The main purpose of the protagonist is to express herself as an American, because she now resides in the United States of America. We realize that she is very glad to express herself properly as an American when she says: "when I was done, I read over my words, and my eyes filled. I finally sounded like myself in English!"

However, the protagonist also wants us to know how her family's past impacted their views, and the deep connection which she feels with her mother. This can be seen when the protagonists says that her mum tried to make her feel better when shhw fought with her father. Her mother was also very supportive: It can be seen when she said "Go away,” I wailed, but we both knew I was glad she was there, and I needed only a moment’s protest to save face before opening that door".
