Which option correctly indicates economic hardship of the poor?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Bread prices rising faster than income
Poor French families spent a large part of their income on bread. If bread prices rise faster than wages or income, their purchasing power falls and food becomes harder to afford. Tax exemptions and high offices indicate privilege, not hardship; feudal dues were generally collected from peasants rather than received by them. Exam tip: compare the rise in prices with income to judge purchasing power.
