Question

Which individual would most likely be a member of the upper class in a 19th-century city in the North?
A.
A lawyer
B.
An accountant
C.
A factory worker
D.
A factory owner

Answer 1

A factory owner (D) would most likely be a member of the upper class in a 19th-century city in the North. Factory owners often held significant wealth and social status during this time, particularly in industrialized cities. In contrast, a lawyer or an accountant, while potentially affluent, might not necessarily be considered part of the upper class unless they had substantial wealth or connections. A factory worker, on the other hand, would typically belong to the working class.
