What was the main goal of the settlement house movement?

Answer
A
to provide social services for immigrants
B
to stop the spread of domestic violence

Explanation

Settlement houses were community centers in immigrant neighborhoods during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They offered services such as education, childcare, and help adjusting to life in the United States. Therefore, the main goal was to provide social services for immigrants, not to focus primarily on alcohol, domestic violence, or labor reform.
