Answer:

For the first question, if I remember correctly, it was A, and for the 2nd, D.

Step-by-step explanation:

From what I remember, Congress used literacy tests to limit the # of immigrants that came to the US, since they likely wouldn't be able to understand American language. And immigrants often suffer from poverty or persecution in their homes, which is why they immigrate.
