Answer 2

Most students will see how the creation of an immigrant community was central to immigrants' survival. But they should also note two other factors discussed by the text. City bosses made it their business to look out for the poor at a time when the formal institutions of government did very little for them. Settlement houses were also a means for improving the life of immigrants.
