Explanation:

• Question 4: In the 1890s, a significant shift in immigration patterns occurred. Earlier immigrants to the US were often from Western and Northern Europe. However, by the 1890s, due to various economic (e.g., lack of industrialization leading to poverty in some regions), political (e.g., ethnic tensions in multi - ethnic empires), and social (e.g., overpopulation in some rural areas) factors, a large number of immigrants came from Southern (e.g., Italy) and Eastern (e.g., parts of the Russian and Austro - Hungarian Empires) Europe.
• Question 5: The Chinese Exclusion Act was specifically targeted at limiting Chinese immigration. It was passed in 1882. The Asian Exclusion Act is a misnomer as there was no such broad - based act for all Asians at that time. The Manchurian Exclusion Act is not a real act related to US immigration policy towards Chinese.
• Question 6: Tenements were overcrowded and unsanitary housing where immigrants often lived. Ghettos, in the historical context of US immigration (late 19th - early 20th century), were not the primary term for this type of housing. Apartment complexes, especially in the context of early, poorly regulated immigrant housing, do not fit the description of the extremely crowded and unsanitary living spaces that led to NYC ventilation and light laws.
