Responses

nobility
nobility

peasants
peasants

clergy
clergy

bourgeoisie

Answer 1

In the prerevolutionary French government, besides the monarch, the **nobility** and the **clergy** held governmental positions. The nobility held significant power and privileges, while the clergy, particularly those in higher positions within the Catholic Church, also had influence over political matters. The **bourgeoisie**, which consisted of the middle class, did not hold official governmental positions in the same way, although they were becoming increasingly influential leading up to the French Revolution. The **peasants** generally lacked political power and were largely excluded from governance.

So, the correct responses are **nobility** and **clergy**.
