The............................in England and the United States during late 19th century helped the poor learn skills required for urban living.
Answer: B
The institutions were the settlement houses ('Settement Houses' in the paper).
The settlement movement began with Toynbee Hall in London's East End in 1884 and spread to the United States, most famously with Jane Addams's Hull House in Chicago (1889). Educated volunteers lived among the urban poor and immigrants and ran classes, clubs, kindergartens and advice services that helped people learn the skills needed for city life. The movement is one root of social group work and community organisation.
Poor houses were institutions for confining paupers, beggar homes are custodial institutions, and half-way homes help people move from institutions back into the community; none was a teaching centre of this kind.
