Answer 1

B. Many Chinese people migrated there to work on the railroads, acquisition of the Mexican Cession area, and economic opportunities during the Gold Rush.

Step-by-step explanation:

The popularity of the Gold Rush spread all over the world, especially to China. By 1851, over 25,000 Chinese immigrants left home & moved to California, a land some called gam saan, or "gold mountain." Some immigrants eventually worked on the Transcontinental Railroad, which was finished in 1869.

Answer 2

The answer is B. This is because many Chinese people moved to California in hope to find gold and send it back to their families in China. They started taking over jobs because they worked hard for less money. They worked on the railroad and was able to get it done, however, there was a ban on Chinese immigrants due to them overpopulating the cities and taking everyone’s jobs.
