Answer: C. teaching them how to speak English.

During the late 1800s and the early 1900s, reformers assisted immigrants into American society primarily through the instruction of English. They used settlement houses, public schools, and community programs and sought to bring people together and create employment opportunities. Learning English assisted the immigrants to integrate into American society rather than being excluded or learning other languages.
