Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• The economy taking a downturn due to job competition is an economic aspect, not a cultural backlash.
• The Emergency Immigration Act of 1921 was to limit immigration, not remove limits.
• Immigrants protesting due to US involvement in WWI is not related to cultural backlash from immigrant population growth in cities.

Many Americans in rural areas felt that their way of life was being threatened.
