This means that dinner parties can be difficult 1 for recent immigrants to the USA 2.
1 difficult: "Difficult" is the closest term to describe "a minefield" in this context. Literally, a "minefield" is an area of land which contains explosives or bombs. You have to watch your feet in these areas! When used as a metaphor, a "minefield" is a hazardous or dangerous situation, which is difficult to negotiate. Example: "Going to my ex's wedding was a minefield".
1 embarrassing: If something is "embarrassing", it "humiliates" us in front of other people. Example: "It was very embarrassing when Icarus's mother visited the office". This does not share a similar meaning with "a minefield".
1 useful: If something is "useful", it "helps us" or "serves a good purpose". Example: "This guide to life in the USA is very useful for me". This does not share a similar meaning with "a minefield".
1 interesting: If something is "interesting", it "intrigues us" or "makes us curious". Example: "Last night I watched an interesting programme about elephants". This does not share a similar meaning with "a minefield".
2 recent immigrants to the USA: This is the best choice here. "Newcomers" to a country, or any other destination, are those who have recently arrived there, or who have not been there for very long. Example: "If you are a newcomer to Paris, you may be surprised by the number of tiny dogs in this city".
2 American expatriates: This does not share a similar meaning with "newcomers to the USA". "American expatriates" are US nationals who have decided to live in a country other than the USA. Example: "I live in Dubai, but most of my friends are also American ex-patriates". Note that we often shorten this term to "ex-pats".
2 illegal immigrants in the USA: This does not share a similar meaning with "newcomers to the USA". An "illegal immigrant" is someone who has come to a country in a manner that breaks the law. Example: "I came to this country as an illegal immigrant but now I'm a politician."
2 students of American English: This does not share a similar meaning with "newcomers to the USA". "Students of American English" are learning the language: they are not necessarily living in America.

'Wendy: It's a worrying trend'. This could also be expressed as: It's a/an .
'Wendy: It's a worrying trend'. This could also be expressed as: It's a/an disturbing 1 tendency 2.
1 disturbing: 'Disturbing' is the best definition of 'worrying'. If something 'worries' us, it 'disturbs' or 'concerns' us. Here's another example: 'I've received some worrying news about your father. He's in hospital'.
1 interesting: The term 'interesting' describes something 'fascinating' or 'intriguing'. This is not the best choice here.
1 surprising: The term 'surprising' describes something 'unexpected' or 'shocking'. This is not the best choice here.
1 cautious: The term 'cautious' describes someone 'prudent' or 'who acts with great care'. This is not the best choice here.
2 tendency: 'Tendency' is the correct answer here. A 'trend' is a 'tendency', 'inclination', or 'fashion'. This term can be used to describe both serious movements ('This graph shows the trends in political values over the past year') and less serious fads ('The latest trend is orange cardigans'). Note the related adjective 'trendy', meaning 'fashionable': 'That's a very trendy hat; did you buy it recently?'.
2 habit: A 'habit' is a 'custom' or 'tradition': something we do regularly or habitually. This does not define 'trend'.
2 subject: A 'subject' is a 'topic' or 'matter'. This does not define 'trend'.
2 news: It is grammatically incorrect to say 'a news'. We have to say 'a piece a news' or 'some news'. Moreover, 'trend' does not share a similar meaning with 'trend'.
