The stoutest man in England, were he made, in such a condition of things, to do nothing during the whole of that time but be erect on his feet and stick pins in a pincushion, would sink under the burden.

"The Communists fight for the attainment of the immediate aims, for the enforcement of the momentary interests of the working class; but in the movement of the present, they also represent and take care of the future of that movement. But they never cease, for a single instant, to instill into the working class the clearest possible recognition of the hostile antagonism between bourgeoisie and proletariat, in order that the German workers may straightway use, as so many weapons against the bourgeoisie, the social and political conditions that the bourgeoisie must necessarily introduce along with its supremacy, and in order that, after the fall of the reactionary classes in Germany, the fight against the bourgeoisie itself may immediately begin."

- from The Communist Manifesto , Karl Marx, 1848

Which statement BEST reflect changes to middle-class society brought about by industrialization?

• Industrialization drew sharp lines between the aristocracy and the middle-class as illustrated in this painting. The rich became richer during this time creating an even larger divide between the aristocrats and middle-class.

• Industrialization improved the lives of the middle-class but they still found themselves well below the aristocrats in how they lived and the resources they enjoyed. Someone in the middle-class would still have to work hard daily to provide for their family.

• Due to industrialization the middle-class lost ranks in society as well as a decrease in their wealth. They took business risks that did not always turn out favorably.

• As a result of industrialization members of the middle-class benefited with new wealth and prestige. They assembled themselves into aristocratic life by buying homes in the country, securing seats in Parliament, sending their sons to Ivy League schools, and receiving titles from the Queen.
