Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • In the early 1960s, the US had a strict national-origins quota system for immigrants.
  • The number of new immigrants allowed from a country each year was based on how many people from that country lived in the US in 1890.
  • This system favored immigrants from northern Europe.
  • Almost 70% of slots were reserved for immigrants from Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany.
  • The 1965 Hart-Celler Act abolished the national-origins quota system.

The student wants to present the significance of the Hart-Celler Act to an audience unfamiliar with the history of US immigration. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
