Question

Select two sentences from Passage 2 that support the idea that the previous US immigration policy was discriminatory

Answer 1

We can select the following two sentences to support the idea that the previous US immigration policy was discriminatory:

B. "Yet the fact is that for over four decades the immigration policy of the United States has been twisted and has been distorted by the harsh injustice of the national origins quota system." (paragraph 4)

C. "Families were kept apart because a husband or a wife or a child had been born in the wrong place." (paragraph 5)

• The sentences we are analyzing here were taken from President Lyndon B. Johnson's speech for the signing of the Immigration Bill in 1965.

• After reading the speech, we can eliminate option A. This sentence is not about the previous Bill. It is about what the new Bill establishes.

• Sentences B and C are correct. They both show how the previous policy was unfair.

• Members of the same family were not all allowed to migrate to the United States. Their place of birth would determine whether they were allowed in or not.

• Sentences D and E, like the first option, are not about the previous Bill.

• Sentence D is about the fact that the US is a nation built by immigrants. Sentence E claims that the new Bill will limit who can migrate into the country.

With that in mind, we can choose letters B and C as the ones discussing the previous policy.
