Sample Practice Problems

Preview the types of problems and questions covered in this worksheet

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.48 Urbanization, Immigration, and Nativism skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the source-set display with a census map, a machine speech, a settlement-house report, and an immigration law excerpt. Which set of sources best supports the full skill focus?

AOnly the machine speech, because one source can explain every migration and policy pattern.

BOnly the census map, because reform and nativism cannot be studied with documents.

CThe machine speech and railroad timetable, because immigration laws are irrelevant to urbanization.

DThe census map, settlement-house report, and law excerpt together explain migration patterns, urban reform, and nativism.

Solution & Explanation:The strongest set combines geographic evidence, reform evidence, and policy evidence, matching the skill's emphasis on maps, sources, nativism, and urban reform.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Stimulus: A Hull House-style neighborhood map records wages, nationalities, rents, and crowded housing block by block. Which interpretation best explains why this source was powerful?

AIt showed that reformers cared only about abstract national politics.

BIt proved that ethnicity alone caused poverty without economic factors.

CIt made structural urban problems visible at the neighborhood scale and supported targeted reform arguments.

DIt replaced evidence with entertainment for machine campaigns.

Solution & Explanation:Block-level mapping helped reformers connect poverty, wages, rents, and housing conditions without reducing the problem to stereotypes.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the timeline of immigration restriction before 1920. Which claim best explains the sequence?

AThe United States had no immigration restrictions of any kind before 1920.

BRestriction developed incrementally through exclusions, agreements, organizations, and literacy requirements before national-origins quotas.

CNational-origins quotas were the first sign of nativism in U.S. history.

DSettlement houses were responsible for passing the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Solution & Explanation:The timeline shows several pre-1920 steps toward restriction, so later quota laws built on earlier nativist and federal policy developments.
