What did the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act reflect about American society in the late 1800s?

 the effect that nativism had on United States immigration policy
 the preference American industrialists had for Asian workers
 the need for more workers to complete the railroad
 America's fear of immigrants from communist countries
