B

C
the United States could take away the citizenship of Japanese immigrants who lived in the United States.
D

Explanation

Under the 1907 Gentleman’s Agreement, Japan agreed to restrict passports for Japanese workers seeking to immigrate to the United States. It did not set a limit of five thousand passports per year; Japan generally stopped issuing passports to laborers, while allowing some categories such as family members to enter. Therefore, the correct choice is “Japan would stop giving passports to people who wanted to immigrate to the United States.”
