Question

which of the following are changes in american culture that can be connected to the policy described in the excerpt? choose two correct answers. the act prohibited the immigration of chinese laborers into the united states in response to economic concerns among american workers. the act increased immigration from non - european countries, sparking debates and discussions on assimilation and the definition of american identity. the act allowed for the designation of military - controlled areas where thousands of japanese americans would be ordered to relocate, therefore increasing the divide among asian americans and other groups. immigrants arriving under the new system brought diverse skills, talents, and entrepreneurial spirit to the united states

Explanation:

1. Analyze the second option: Immigration from non - European countries increasing would lead to debates on assimilation and American identity, which is a cultural change.
2. Analyze the fourth option: Immigrants bringing diverse skills, talents, and entrepreneurial spirit would impact American culture in terms of economic and social cultural aspects like business and social interactions.
3. The first option is about a policy (Chinese Exclusion Act - type) but more about labor/economic policy impact on immigration, not cultural change in the sense of the question. The third option is about Japanese American relocation (more of a civil rights/legal - military policy impact, not cultural change as per the question's context of cultural changes connected to the policy in a broader cultural sense like identity, cultural enrichment).

Answer:

B. The act increased immigration from non - European countries, sparking debates and discussions on assimilation and the definition of American identity.
D. Immigrants arriving under the new system brought diverse skills, talents, and entrepreneurial spirit to the United States
