fill in the blanks to complete the passage describing the know-nothing party’s political stance on immigration.

This is how we can fill in the blanks to complete the passage describing the Know-Nothing political stance on immigration. I will topicalize the passage to improve readability:

- The Know-Nothing Party seemed to be one of contradictions: they wanted to limit the rights of immigrants, while promoting an (1) antislavery agenda. Why would a political party argue for limiting the rights of one group, but expanding the rights of another?

- While they did rally against certain groups, like (2) Catholics, it was mainly because these groups didn't support the same ideals for which they stood, including abolition and (3) temperance.

- Ultimately, the Know-Nothings accomplished very little in limiting the rights of immigrants. All European immigrants benefited from being (4) white. These groups had the advantage of being able to (5) vote, while free blacks could not.

To fill in the blanks of this kind of passage, we must first read all the options and the whole passage to have a good idea of what it is about.

Begin by the easiest and most obvious answers.

Pay attention to what the sentence needs. If what is missing is a verb, there is no point in trying to complete with a noun, for example.

Do some researching if necessary. In this case, it is easier to complete the passage if you already know something about the Know-Nothings.
