Question

which does not correctly match an immigrant group with its major pattern of settlement?
scandinavians–minnesota
chinese – california
italians – texas
jews – new york city

Explanation:

To determine the incorrect match, we analyze each option:

• Scandinavians often settled in Minnesota (correct, as Minnesota has a history of Scandinavian immigration).
• Chinese immigration to California (especially during the Gold Rush and for railroad work) is well - known (correct).
• Italians typically settled in areas like New York, not primarily Texas. Texas had more Mexican, German, etc., immigration. Jews in New York City is a well - known settlement pattern (correct for Jews - New York City). So the incorrect match is Italians – Texas.

Answer:

B. Italians – Texas
