Question

Which of the following statements best describes the middle class during the Industrial Revolution?

A. The middle class lived in tenements because they faced harsher economic problems.
B. The middle class women did not do physical labor and instead they hired maidservants to care for their homes.
C. The middle class demanded labor protection laws for factory workers.

Answer 1

The correct answer here is B.

The women of the middle class families did not work and hired maidservants. The industrial revolution did bring an increased income to middle class families and an increase in the standard of living. But the lower class families and workers still worked for little money and in terrible conditions. So it was good period for some, bad for the others.
