d. an end to ethnic parishes would accelerate the pace of assimilation into mainstream american life.
e. both b and d.

Explanation:

For the first question: In the early 20th century, Japanese immigrants faced widespread nativist sentiment that framed them as unable to integrate into American society, so they were viewed as unassimilable. The "model minority" label emerged much later, and they were seen as economic competitors rather than indispensable or respected.
For Question 10: Americanist Catholic clergy pushed for assimilation into mainstream American life. They argued that ending ethnic parishes would speed up this assimilation, and they advocated excluding ethnic Catholic groups deemed unassimilable.

Answer:

First question: A. unassimilable
Question 10: E. Both B and D.
