Hull House, established to assist the urban poor, was founded by which reformer?

• A. City Life
• B. New Immigrations
• C. Jane Addams
• D. Political Machines

Answer: (C)

Hull House illustrates the settlement house movement, a Progressive Era effort to help urban poor communities by creating neighborhood centers that offered education, childcare, healthcare, and social services for immigrants and other residents in need. It was founded in Chicago in 1889 by Jane Addams, a reformer who dedicated herself to improving living conditions and expanding opportunities for the urban poor. That connection is why Jane Addams is the right answer.

Other options don’t fit because City Life isn’t a person, New Immigrations refers to groups of people rather than a founder, and Political Machines describe powerful, often corrupt city political organizations rather than reformers who set up community centers like Hull House.
