2. Which best represents the main idea of the passage?

Difficulty Level: 600

Explanation

Limited percentages of each nationality were allowed in order to curb the flow of immigration to the United States. Criminal activity was never linked to the enforcement of quota, so choice b is incorrect. The numbers were reduced, but not completely stopped during the Great Depression; choice c is incorrect. The percentages were either 2% or 3%, not 1%, so choice d is incorrect. There was never any mention of panic on the island as choice e would indicate.

Answer: A

3. The tone of the passage would be best described as:

Difficulty Level: 550

Explanation

Informative best matches the author’s tone. This passage presents from a historical vantage point, refraining from interjection of opinion or emotion. Restrained would insinuate the holding back of emotion, which was not found. Nostalgic also implies an emotional response to the past, which is not present. Inflammatory does not describe the tone; there is no presence of anger or opinion. Contemptuous is incorrect as well, as it too suggests the show of emotion.
