Which of the following best states a similarity between the "old" and "new" waves of immigration in the 1800s?
A. Immigrants from both periods established neighborhoods in American cities.
B. Immigrants from both periods were from western and northern Europe.
C. Immigrants from both periods were from eastern and southern Europe.
D. Immigrants from both periods were skilled laborers and landowners.

A

Explanation:

Just finished taking the test. B and C are automatically not correct since old immigrants came more from western and eastern Europe, while new came from eastern and southern. D is also the first thing that should not be noticed as even a possible answer since the old wave of immigrants were the skilled workers and landowners, and the new immigrants were the unskilled workers and farmers. A did not sound very right to me (which is how I ended up here lol) but its the only logical answer. Hope this helps somewhat
