Which item saw increased demand due to population growth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Food grains
As France’s population grew in the late eighteenth century, more people needed food, so the demand for food grains increased. Shortages and higher demand also raised the price of bread. Gold represented wealth, but population growth did not directly increase its demand in this context. Exam tip: Remember population growth, food scarcity, and expensive bread together as causes of discontent before the French Revolution.
