Answer 1

The statement about events in France during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that best supports Marx's argument is "Women led a march on the Palace of Versailles to demand cheaper bread prices." This event demonstrates a class struggle between the working class (represented by the women demanding cheaper bread prices) and the ruling class (the monarchy residing in the Palace of Versailles). It illustrates how different classes within society have conflicting interests and tensions that can lead to struggles and conflicts.
