is B wrong because "the more privileged sectors" refers to "working class"?

Thanks!

No, "more privileged sectors" is the opposite of "working class".

There's just no line reference to support (B). When the 'more privileged sectors' are mentioned in line 19, the passage is saying that second-generation Korean Americans generally fall within the more privileged sectors, unlike first-generation Korean Americans.

"Recent Korean American immigrants", as (B) refers to, would qualify as first-generation.

== other answers ==

(A) 21-23
(C) 33-36
(D) 15-16 and 21-22
(E) 41-44

Hope this helps.

I think that is clearer in lines 11-13.

I think that B refers to line 13-15: "Members of this generation, unlike first generation Korea Americans, generally fall within the more privileged sectors of the Korean American community."

However, B is wrong because "members of this generation" means the second-generation, and does not related to "of working class background".
