Which term refers to organizations that assist immigrants with legal processes, resources, advocacy, and community support?

• A. Revitalization hypothesis
• B. Self-selection
• C. Immigrant-serving organizations
• D. Acculturation effect

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is descriptive of groups that work directly with immigrants by helping with legal matters, connecting them to resources, advocating for their rights, and providing community support. Immigrant-serving organizations are exactly those kinds of groups—nonprofits or community-based entities that offer legal clinics, language assistance, referrals, social services, and policy advocacy to newcomers. The other terms describe different concepts: a revitalization hypothesis relates to urban neighborhood change, self-selection is a statistical bias about who chooses to participate in a study, and the acculturation effect refers to how people adopt the culture of a new country. None of those describe organizations focused on assisting immigrants across legal, resource, advocacy, and community-support dimensions.
