There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each【C1】______group.

Prejudice and discrimination are part of American history; however, this prejudicial treatment of different groups is nowhere more【C4】______than with black Americans.

选项
答案 I
解析 此处是被动语态结构，需填动词的过去分词。在动词过去式associated(将……联系起来，与某人交往)，excluded(排除)，included(包括)和discriminated(歧视)三个单词中excluded与from连用，本句前面讲黑人因为肤色问题很难融合到美国社会中，此句进一步解释“即使他们获得自由后，在教育、住房和就业中仍然受到歧视”。故选项I表示“歧视”符合文意。
