Answer:

B. They were often pushed into low-paying jobs with poor working conditions.

Explanation:

After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War, nearly 75,000 Mexicans living in the American Southwest received US citizenship. That didn't guarantee that they would have no problems, though. The main problem they faced was that the white settlers forced them out of their land and jobs, sometimes even by force. The government didn't pay attention to the fact they couldn't return to their own land, and whenever such matters reached court, judges and lawyers would have a Mexican American landowner spend every bit of money he had.

Besides that, Mexican Americans were forced to take the worst-paying jobs with the worst conditions, often working almost like salves, cattle herders, and cartmen, or undertaking dangerous mining tasks.

Answer:

B. an image of Cesar Chavez leading a peaceful

march

Explanation:

Cesar Chavez was a civil rights activist and a leader of farm workers fighting for better working conditions. He is most famous for his work in the 60s and 70s when he organized strikes and boycotts against working conditions on farms and plantations.

He used direct, but non-violent means of fight, fighting only with peaceful protests, marches and boycotts until demands were granted.

So, the best illustration for this sentence would be an image of one such peaceful march led by Chavez.

Also, that is the only option that shows any mean of fight for better working conditions.

Answer:

The given extract is taken from the play of William Shakespeare "Othello".

Explanation:

The lines are spoken by Iago in Act 3, Scene 3.

Iago is the antagonist of the play and the most villainous among Shakespeare's villains. Iago had manipulated Othello in believing that his wife Desdemona is cheating on him with his lieutenant Cassio. He does so because he is jealous that he was overlooked for this position so he plans revenge.

In the given quote, Iago is trying to convince Othello of Desdemona's unfaithfulness. He asks Othello to keep watch on Desdemona. Othello eventually agrees.
