They hoped immigrants would overcome the prejudices of nativism was a hope of people who worked in settlement houses.

Option A

Explanation:

The hope of people who lived in the settlement house was to share knowledge and culture with the natives. This was the movement in the 1880's. The motive of this settlement movement was to decrease the level of inequality in poor and rich.

In the settlement house they lived together and get services like education, sharing culture, and medical treatments etc. this movement started the social initiatives working for lower and poor income people. This was for development of lower class.
