Question

the middle class that emerged during the industrial revolution consisted mainly of
working class people who got factory jobs.
a mix of government officials and skilled workers.
wealthy people who owned factories and businesses.
a mix of working class and upper - class workers.

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, the middle class mainly consisted of those who owned factories and businesses. Working - class people with factory jobs were part of the lower - income group. A mix of government officials and skilled workers does not accurately represent the main composition of the emerging middle class. A mix of working - class and upper - class workers is also an incorrect description. The middle class was formed by the industrial and business owners who had economic power and social status different from the traditional upper class (landed aristocracy in some cases) and the working class.

Answer:

C. wealthy people who owned factories and businesses.
