Answer 6

D would actually be correct as many immigrants actually took jobs that they were paid less for. Which actually, if I remember from my history book correctly, highly irritated most Americans as they had not expected them to do so. All in all, they were afraid they would lose their jobs to the immigrants.

Answer 7

I would go with D as well!(:
