(b) was promoting the ideals of the nativist movement
(c) saw east asians as political radicals and criminals
(d) wanted to discourage irish and italian immigration to the united states

Explanation:

For question 1: The cartoon shows the "Gate of Liberty" barring Chinese immigrants while welcoming groups like communists and hoodlums, which contradicts the Statue of Liberty's message of welcoming all immigrants. Someone agreeing with the cartoon's anti-Chinese stance would oppose the Statue of Liberty's inclusive ideal. Options B, C relate to territorial expansion, not immigrant inclusion, and option D aligns with the cartoon's anti-Chinese view.
For question 2: The cartoon's focus on excluding Chinese immigrants while allowing other groups reflects nativist ideas, which favor native-born citizens over immigrants, especially targeting specific ethnic groups like Chinese immigrants. Option A is opposite to the cartoon's message, option C is incorrect as the sign welcomes radicals, and option D is wrong as the cartoon does not target Irish/Italian immigrants.

Answer:

1. (A) the installation of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor
2. (B) was promoting the ideals of the nativist movement
