Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is (a) A is true, R is false.

Explanation:

Why did France witness the emergence of a middle class?

• In the 18th century, France was divided into three estates: First Estate, Second Estate and Third Estate.
• Political rights and wealth were unequally divided among the three estates.
• Third estate or middle class consist of workers, government servants, traders, lawyers, etc. grew in wealth by oversea trades, exports and manufacturing of silk and woolen.
• They became the important part of French Revolution and brought the concept of modern democracy instead of monarchy.

That's why France witnessed the emergence of a middle class during the 18th century, but it didn't occur on account of royal patronage.

So, assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is False.
