Acculturation and Americanization programs became more popular between 1900 and 1910.
Acculturation and Americanization programs became less popular between 1900 and 1910.

Answer 1

As it shows that settlement houses increased their number during the 1900s decade, a conclusion that the chart supports is that Acculturation and Americanization programs became more popular between 1900 and 1910.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Settlement Movement was founded with the purpose of uniting people and bridging inequalities, and creating physical closeness and social interconnection between individuals of opposite social extraction.

Its main characteristic was the construction of dwellings (called settlement houses) in the poorest neighborhoods, where the less well-off lived together with volunteers from the upper middle class, glad to share their education and knowledge, secondly contributing to the reduction of poverty.

As the chart shows an increase in the number of settlement houses, it can be inferred that americanization and poverty-support programs became more popular during that time.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the third: Acculturation and Americanization programs became more popular between 1900 and 1910.

The chart shows that in 1900 there were 100 Settlement Houses and in 1910 there were already 400 Settlement Houses, meaning that they expanded fourfold in a decade at the beginning of the 20th century.

Contextualizing this information, we can infer that the Acculturation and Americanization programs became very popular in their mission of providing accommodation, teaching the English language and various useful knowledge so that immigrants could integrate more quickly and easily into their new life in the United States. This allowed a rapid and powerful population growth, especially in the large industrial poles, and it was possible to increase the sense of national identity of the new citizens coming mainly from European countries.
