Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence marked a, as well as the sentence marked b, are both correct. Hence, it is safe to conclude that the answer to the above mentioned question is option d which states, "both (a) and (b)".

Explanation:

• The French involvement in the American Revolution of 1776 was a costly affair that nearly bankrupted the country. King Louis' extravagant spending did not help matters either.
• Empty royal coffers, poor harvests, and rising food prices had instilled fear among the poor rural and urban populations.
• The situation was exacerbated by the imposition of taxes that provided no relief. Rioting, looting, and general strikes became the norm as a result.
• After Napoleon's reforms and improvements, peasants, artisans, workers, and new businessmen found newfound freedom in the towns.
• Businessmen and small-scale manufacturers, in particular, realised that uniform laws, standardised weights and measures, and a common national currency would facilitate the movement and exchange of goods and capital from one region to another.
