Question

examine the table.
source information: the table shows the number of immigrants permitted to enter the united states by region as a result of the immigration act of 1924

region	number of immigrants permitted	percent of total
eastern and southern europe	18,439	11.2
all other countries	3,745	2.3

based on the data, the immigration act was evidence of public opposition to the -

• movement of african americans from the south to northern cities
• diversity of overseas workers looking for jobs in american factories
• increasing importance of machinery for competing farm work
• emergence of new consumer products and advertising techniques

Explanation:

The 1924 Immigration Act's quotas, shown in the table, heavily favor immigrants from Northwest Europe and Scandinavia (86.5% of permitted immigrants) while severely limiting those from Eastern/Southern Europe and other regions. This reflects nativist sentiment and opposition to the growing diversity of immigrant workers from non-Western European backgrounds who were seeking factory jobs in the U.S. The other options are unrelated: the Great Migration of African Americans, farm machinery, and consumer products have no connection to this immigration policy data.

Answer:

diversity of overseas workers looking for jobs in American factories
