Explanation:

The text explicitly states that the 1924 Immigration Act is also called the Johnson - Reed Act. The Gentlemen's Agreement was a different diplomatic arrangement regarding immigration (not related to this act's name). The Naturalization Act is about the process of becoming a citizen, not the name of the 1924 Immigration Act.
