select the correct answer
they were both involved in railroad construction
they were both restricted by sunday laws
they were encouraged to continue traditional cultural practices
they both were forced to take the worst, lowest paying jobs

Explanation:

• Chinese immigrants were often used for hard labor like railroad construction (but Mexican Americans weren't mainly in railroad construction).
• Sunday Laws restricted Chinese (e.g., in mining areas) but not a common similarity with Mexican Americans.
• There was no general encouragement for either group to continue traditional practices (more often discrimination against their cultures).
• Both Chinese immigrants and Mexican Americans faced discrimination that forced them into the worst, lowest - paying jobs. For example, in agricultural labor (Mexican Americans) and in some of the most dangerous and low - wage industrial jobs (Chinese immigrants).

Answer:

They both were forced to take the worst, lowest paying jobs.
