Explanation:

To determine how public schools help recent immigrants, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Learning American history is part of assimilation but not the main way schools help immigrants integrate broadly.
• Option B: While work skills matter, public schools' primary role for immigrants isn't just job training.
• Option C: Public schools help immigrants (and their children) learn the language, norms, and values of American culture, aiding assimilation. This aligns with the socialization function of schools for newcomers.
• Option D: Voting readiness isn't a primary function of public schools for recent immigrants, especially as many may not be eligible to vote yet.

Answer:

C. Schools help them become assimilated into American culture
