Explanation:

1. For question 19: Nativism is defined as favoring native-born people over immigrants, often involving exclusion of immigrant groups. The phrase "Help Wanted – Irish Need Not Apply" directly excludes an immigrant group (Irish), which matches nativist ideology. The other options relate to westward expansion, nationalist pride, and a presidential address on fear, not nativism.
2. For question 20: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, nativists feared immigrants would take jobs by working for lower wages, which would undercut native-born workers' earning power. The other options do not align with the primary economic and labor-related fears of nativists in that era.

Answer:

1. A) "Help Wanted – Irish Need Not Apply"
2. D) work for cheaper wages
