The European and Asian immigrant experiences were much different during the early 20th century. One of the most significant examples were the procedures they had to go through in order to gain access to America.
For example, many Europeans came through Ellis Island (located in NY). This resulted in rounds of questioning, a six second medical exam, a citizenship like test, and mental evaluations. For Asian immigrants, they came through Ellis Island (located in San Francisco). These immigrants were subject to humiliating physical exams, that sometimes took several hours and forced them to be without clothes in front of other individuals.
European immigrants, for the most part, had a much easier time entering the US. Asian immigrants were limited based on the Chinese Exclusion Act, which suspended the immigration of Chinese immigrants into America for roughly a decade.
They had mad settlement houses which helped women and children in poverty, which seems discriminatory to modern people.
B is the best answer to the question
The term "Roaring '20s" refers to the decade of the 1920s in the United States, which was a time of much economic growth, as well as much social and cultural change.
In the 1920s, cities grew rapidly and industry was growing immensely in the United States. Jazz and other forms of entertainiment (like radio) were expanding and reaching new audiences. Women were becoming more involved in public life. The stock market was a place of much speculation and investment -- too much, as it turned out. The stock market crashed in 1929. America had thought it was in great times during the Roaring '20s. But then everything came crashing down and minds and hearts were depressed, as the country entered into the next decade and an economic tragedy known as the Great Depression.
