Answer:

limit the number of immigrants from a given country.

Explanation:

The Emergency Quota Act, also known as the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921, was a response to a rise in immigration of Jewish people from Eastern Europe. These people were not considered desirable by the government, which led to their immigration being restricted, along with that of many others. It restricted the number of immigrants admitted from any country annually to 3% of the residents from that same country living in the United States. This meant that people from places like Germany had a higher quota than people from Eastern Europe or other non-European countries. The act set no limits for immigration from Latin America. The quota was again reduced by the Immigration Act of 1924 (to 2%).

The main goal of the emergency quota act of 1921 was <u>to limit the number of immigrants from a given country (Option 1).</u>

The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was temporary legislation in the United States that established a quota system to limit the number of immigrants from a given country. The law annually provided immigration visas to 3% of the total number of people of each nationality living in the U.S., based on the 1910 national census.

Though it officially restricted immigrants from all countries, it actually discriminated people from southern and eastern Europe or other, non-European countries. And People of Northern Europe, who had similar cultures with Americans, were benefited the most: They had a higher quota and were more likely to be admitted to the U.S.

Why did Ibn Battuta laught at the king's gift
ycow [4]

Answer: He was surprised by his low intellect.

Explanation:

He received a small portion of food as a gift, barely enough for one man. That made him bottom out laughing. A sarcastic smile alluded to the disrespect “served” to him that way. Ibn Battuta thus described his visit to one of the provinces of the African state of Mali. After this act, Ibn Battuta complained, and after that, he received a much more flattering gift.
