Final answer:

The success of each immigrant group varied in the factors set up by WASPs, with some achieving cultural isolation and preservation of identity, but not complete assimilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The group's success in the factors set up by WASPs varied. Option A) Successful in maintaining cultural isolation, Option B) Highly successful in complete assimilation, Option C) Partial success in preserving cultural identity, and Option D) Unsuccessful in every aspect.

Many immigrant groups were successful in maintaining their cultural isolation by settling among members of their own group where they could receive help. This allowed them to preserve their language, traditions, and ethnic identity to some extent, supporting Option A) Successful in maintaining cultural isolation and Option C) Partial success in preserving cultural identity. On the other hand, complete assimilation was not achieved by most immigrant groups, especially when faced with racial and ethnic discrimination. Language assimilation, in particular, was a barrier to assimilation that limited employment and educational options, leading to limited growth in socioeconomic status. Therefore, Option B) Highly successful in complete assimilation is not accurate. Finally, it is also not true to say that immigrant groups were unsuccessful in every aspect, as they were able to maintain certain aspects of their cultural identity and build strong communities.
