"<span>a. Many immigrants tried to maintain their traditional religion and diet" is the best option since many immigrants were Catholic, which upset the Protestant masses. </span>
One of the reasons why the Indian Removal Act was more expensive than the government had planned was that "<span>The Seminole people resisted and cost the government money in war costs", although there was moving costs related to this issue as well.</span>
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:
<span>(1) introduction of communism
(2) establishment of democratic governments
(3) colonization of the region
(4) movements to gain independence
</span>
The correct answer would be option 3. The origin of this practice can be traced to colonization of the region. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
