Explanation:

• For the option "They all spoke English": First - wave immigrants came from various countries like Germany, Ireland, etc. Many of them did not speak English initially, so this is incorrect.
• For the option "They all valued education": Most first - wave immigrants, regardless of their origin (e.g., European immigrants), recognized the importance of education for themselves and their children as a means of social and economic advancement in the new country.
• For the option "They all had the same religious beliefs": First - wave immigrants included people of different religions such as Catholics (Irish), Protestants (various European groups), and Jews, so they did not have the same religious beliefs.
• For the option "They all had the same political beliefs": Immigrants came from different political backgrounds in their home countries and had diverse political views as they settled in the new land, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. They all valued education.
