"the crusader states were able to cling to survival only through frequent delivery of supplies and manpower from europe. [they] were defended primarily by three semi-monastic military orders: the templars, the hospitallers, and the teutonic knights. combining monasticism and militarism, these orders served to protect pilgrims and to wage perpetual war against the muslims." "whenever i visited jerusalem, i always entered the al-aqsa mosque, beside which stood a small mosque which the franks had converted into a church [t]he templars, who were my friends, would evacuate the little adjoining mosque so that i could pray in it." the second passage does not support the first passage because the second passage
(a) shows that an influx of manpower from europe was not critical for the survival of the crusader states
(b) shows that muslims vastly outnumbered europeans in the crusader states
(c) minimizes the importance of hospitallers and teutonic knights in the administration of the crusader states
(d) presents an incident in which a military order supported a muslim traveler

(d) Presents an incident in which a military order supported a Muslim traveler

Explanation:

The first paragraph portrait that the military orders were implacable and intolerant with the Muslim population, but as the second passage tells, there was also an influx of knowledge and tolerance between the Muslim and the members of the orders. This was seen especially with the Templars, who used this to gain knowledge in fields such as architecture, mathematics, and philosophy.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
