Answer: In the early 1920s*, over a million foreigners entered the United States. Workers feared competition for jobs, and isolationists wanted minimal contact with Europe and feared that immigrants might foment revolution. In response to public demands for restrictive legislation, Congress acted quickly. It passed two laws that severely limited immigration by setting quotas on nationality, namely, the quota act of 1921 and the quota act of 1924.
The quota act of 1921 limited immigration to 3 percent of the number of foreign-born persons from a given nation counted in the 1910 Census.
The quota act of 1924 set quotas of 2 percent based on the Census of 1890 to reduce the number of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe.
*This answer is based off the assumption that the question is specifically referring to the surge of nativism in America following World War I.

Explanation:
Why might the Church be concerned about a heliocentric explanation of the universe? Why was the church concerned about scientific theories
Answers
The correct answers to these open questions are the following.
Why might the Church be concerned about a heliocentric explanation of the universe?
Because in those Middle Ages times, the Catholic Church was so powerful and forced people to believe only what the church said. The high clergy of the church punished people who dared to think otherwise under the justification that no human could be against the will of God. Those were the obscure and horrible times of the inquisition.
The Church saw the heliocentric view of the solar system as a challenge to its authority because the heliocentric view, if correct, might mean God did not put humans at the center of the universe. And that would mean losing its power.
That is why the church was concerned about scientific theories such as the Heliocentric Theory, developed by Nicolaus Copernicus.
The church did not want the scientific method to explain the natural phenomena that had been attributed to the glory of God. And that was exactly what science did, to prove the church wrong with ideas such as that it was the Earth and other planets the ones that revolved around the Sun.

How did diet play a role in the expansion of Europe?
Answers
Answer: The story is similar for each of the families I visit in Anachere, a community of about 90 members of the ancient Tsimane Indian tribe. It’s the rainy season, when it’s hardest to hunt or fish. More than 15,000 Tsimane live in about a hundred villages along two rivers in the Amazon Basin near the main market town of San Borja, 225 miles from La Paz. But Anachere is a two-day trip from San Borja by motorized dugout canoe, so the Tsimane living there still get most of their food from the forest, the river, or their gardens.

Answers
Answer: They didn't have the ability to do work that the Nazi's wanted.
Explanation: Since they were so weak, they could not do the slave work like many stronger men did. They didn't have any use to the Nazi's.
Answer:
Only the healthy, able-bodied prisoners were suited to work. As a result, those in ill condition who could not work or 'contribute' were seen as useless and therefore disposed of. The Nazis also likely did not want people of 'inferior race' reproducing.
