The majority of people who immigrated to America in the late 1800s and early 1900s worked at challenging jobs in the cities. They worked in the industrial field.  

 

EXPLANATION  

 

Periods of mass immigration occurred from 1880 to 1920. During these periods the contribution of immigrants and their offspring to the growth and transformation of the American labor industry was quite high. This can be seen from the presence of immigrant communities and their homes in big cities, even with varying living conditions. Based on this fact, it means that they were the mainstay of the American industrial workforce.

In 1920, more than half of manufacturing workers were immigrants and their children. If it’s calculated with the third generation (grandchildren of immigrants), there were more than two-thirds of workers in the manufacturing sector are immigrants. On the other hand, native-born workers were seen as less interested in the industrial field, although higher wages were received plus better working conditions. The pace and scale of the American industrial revolution seemed to slow down if judged from there.

In the 1920s, the door to mass immigration was closed. This is an attempt by the government to increase recruitment for native-born workers, especially native Southern workers sent to industrial cities in the north.

Answer:

C.) While both the Ottoman Empire and Western European states relied heavily on forced conversions to expand and maintain their empires, the Ottoman Empire remained more religiously tolerant than the Western European empires.

Explanation:

I got this question right on the first try. Here's why I knew it was C. You would need to have some knowledge about the Ottoman Empire's role of religion. I don't know if it says in the passage, so if you do find it, then give me a heads up. Remember, how did the Ottoman Empire treat the minorities? Did they force persecution/conversion to Islam? Well, not really. Although they did develop the devshirme system, it was kinda of a force conversion because the children had to give up their Christian belief, but it was seen as an opportunity. They weren't punished, so answer A is not right. So they did practice religious tolerance. Also the Ottoman Empire tried to expand the empire to make it bigger as well. There wasn't any religious wars carried out the Ottoman Empire, and answer B does not make sense. Where in the passage does it say about those two empires having efforts of doing mass conversions. Look at Source 2. Sorry if this explanation is long, but I hope this helps :)
