Answer 1

"The new immigrants did not easily blend into American society" was an effect of the characteristics listed.

Option: (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

• The new immigrants that came to US from eastern or southern Europe were allocated to work as labor in factories and industries at lower wage rate.

• Also, the native American society was insecure about the employment opportunities as they believed that the immigrants could take over their job by working at lower wage rate.

• There was problem of blending in in American society because of the difference in lifestyle, culture, religion and the lack of English language which only few of them spoke.
