do u take American History?

OpenStudy (zale101):

immigrants couldn't speak English and because of that, it was hard for them to look for a job. Wen many immigrants came to the US, mainly California, they were looking for job and wanted political freedom since their own country couldn't afford that to them.

OpenStudy (secret66):

is the answer only c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The correct answer is immediately C. Becca, what choice are you looking at?

OpenStudy (secret66):

so the answers are a And c, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem with choosing A, they did have skill, so they weren't forced to work low pay jobs.

OpenStudy (secret66):

wow, u all r so good in history

OpenStudy (zale101):

but immigrants couldn't speak English,Why? Because they came from foreign places.

OpenStudy (zale101):

B is not correct, Chinese immigrants were skilled and other immigrants too were skilled at something. For example, Chinese immigrants were good at making object, sculpturing, and were rich with silk. So, they used their talents in their job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only answer I really see being checked is C

OpenStudy (secret66):

I think that b is also the answer

OpenStudy (zale101):

D i not correct, immigrants didn't went back home after they worked in the US for several years? Then, explain how Chinatown was originated in San Francisco?

OpenStudy (secret66):

OpenStudy (secret66):

OpenStudy (zale101):

@secret66 i won't say most immigrants could already speak English, some did, only those who came from England, but many of them came from China, Irish, and other foreign countries that couldn't speak English :)

OpenStudy (zale101):

you're welcome @secret66

OpenStudy (secret66):

a and c are the answers, right?

OpenStudy (zale101):

oh, u have to choose more than one answer?

OpenStudy (secret66):

yeah.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you HAVE to?

OpenStudy (secret66):

Choose all the answers that are correct

OpenStudy (zale101):

i would say A and C, because some immigrants had low paying jobs probably because they weren't skilled at anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just go with A and C, I thought it was just 1 answer and I thought it said "all" not "many"

OpenStudy (secret66):
