a. 1600 and 1820
b. 1820 and 1880
c. 1880 and 1920
d. 1960 and the present

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Italian and Jewish immigrants played a major role in the era of immigration between 1880 and 1920.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest group of Italians moved to the United States in the early 1900s, two million moved between 1900 and 1914. Only Irish and Germans moved to the United States in larger numbers.

In turn, the Jewish people also mobilized on a large scale during this time, although in much smaller numbers.

Answer 2

Italian and Jewish immigrants played a major role in the era of immigration between "c. 1880 and 1920," although of course some immigrants from both of these groups came to the US before this period.
