a. Honest hard work.
b. Racial discrimination.
C. The smoking of opium.
d. Going on strike for better wages.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct options are (A), (B) and (D).

Congress passed the Opium Exclusion Act on February 9, 1909 which barred the admission of opium for smoking purpose. This Act was mostly implemented onto the opium refined for smoking which at that time was mostly favored by Chinese immigrants and not on the aesculapian opium that white Americans kept in their houses.
