Answer 1

A. The passage of the Emergency Quota Act and the Sacco and Vanzetti Trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 limits the number of immigrants to be allowed entry into the United States. This Act provides a restriction to the entry of immigrants into the country.

The Sacco and Vanzetti Trial revolves around the trial of two Italian immigrants, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti on the grounds of murdering two American shoe company employees. Though the main basis of the 'accused' was based on the description of eyewitnesses that they were two "Italian looking" men, Sacco and Vanzetti's trial became more famous because of the unfair nature of the conviction. The duo was charged guilty and executed for murder.

These two events best support the image of the 1920s as a decade of nativist feelings in the history of America.
