Answer 2

option a -  The Third Estate was made of the poor only- is the incorrect statement.

• Everyone else made up the Third Estate, from poor farmers to the bourgeoisie, or the affluent business class.
• The Third Estate made up 96% of the population of France, compared to the Second Estate's 1%, and it had none of the privileges and rights enjoyed by the other two estates.
• Approximately 27 million people, or 98% of the country, were members of the Third Estate.
• Every French person without a noble title or a church ordination fell under this category.
• The majority of the Third Estate was composed of rural peasants.
• The majority of peasants were sharecroppers or feudal tenants who had to pay a variety of taxes, tithes, and feudal dues.
• Skilled and unskilled urban labourers who resided in big cities like Paris made up a considerably smaller portion of the Third Estate.
• They had low pay, lived in unfavourable circumstances, and were under pressure from rising food prices.
• The bourgeoisie, accomplished businesspeople who varied from members of the comfortable middle class to exceedingly affluent merchants and landowners, were the Third Estate's apex.
• Members of the Third Estate were subject to unfair taxation, regardless of their income or property, and the Ancien Régime ignored them politically.
• In the late 1780s, the growing revolutionary sentiment was a result of this exclusion.
