Question

what role did the working class of france play during the reign of terror?
○ they were the main target of the government’s violence.
○ they strongly supported the jacobins’ use of radical measures.
○ they remained uninvolved in the french revolution.
○ they used violence to overthrow the jacobins.

Explanation:

During the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, the working class (sans - culottes) strongly supported the Jacobins. The Jacobins, led by figures like Robespierre, implemented radical measures to defend the revolution, and the working class saw these measures as a way to protect their interests and the gains of the revolution. The first option is incorrect as the main targets of the government's violence were counter - revolutionary forces. The third option is wrong because the working class was actively involved in the French Revolution. The fourth option is incorrect as the working class supported the Jacobins, not overthrew them.

Answer:

B. They strongly supported the Jacobins' use of radical measures.
