2- B

3- C

4- C

5- C

Explanation:

1- Many Americans feared that immigrants who passed through Angel Island would take jobs from American workers.

Between 1910 and 1940, Angel Island was used as an immigration station for people from the Pacific Ocean, mainly from China. For this reason the island has also been called "Ellis Island of the West". The American population looked with bad eyes at the Asian immigration, because it was not a culture easily assimilable to American society, but mainly because of the common belief of the great adhesion of these peoples to work, which, following this line of thought, would take away work to the Americans.

2- In the mid- to late 1800s, the US government granted land to railroad companies to expand their networks. Another way that railroad companies used the land was selling some of it to farmers and ranchers. In this way, the first towns of the West of the United States began to settle in the vicinity of the railroad tracks.

3- John D. Rockefeller horizontally integrated his monopoly in 1880 by creating a trust that controlled oil wells, refineries, and distribution networks.

The Standard Oil Trust was the first monopoly in the world, covering the entire US oil industry, controlling the processes of extraction, refining, transportation, distribution and sale of all products derived from 90% of all US oil and holding operations, investments and activities in dozens of other countries.

4- An action taken by employers or by the government against workers who wanted to organize was union busting. It refers to any activity aimed at hindering trade union action.

5- The "Age of Invention" began in the mid 1800s, with the invention of the telephone, the telegraph and the steam engine, among other devices.
