Question

what were two reasons for immigrants supporting political machines?
□ they provided jobs.
□ they provided pay raises.
□ they provided loans to start businesses.
□ they provided health services.
□ they provided social services.

Explanation:

Political machines in the U.S. often offered practical, immediate support to new immigrants. Jobs were a critical resource for immigrants seeking economic stability. Social services, such as help with housing, naturalization, or food, addressed basic survival needs that formal systems failed to provide for many immigrants. Pay raises, business loans, and formal health services were not standard, widespread offerings from political machines.

Answer:

A. They provided jobs.
E. They provided social services.
