Which social class has a higher divorce rate according to the material?

• A. Upper class
• B. Working class
• C. Middle class
• D. Lower class

Answer: (B)

The concept here is how social class influences the likelihood of divorce. The material shows that the working class has a higher divorce rate because economic strain and fewer resources put more pressure on marriages and make it harder to cope with problems. More financial instability, job insecurity, and limited access to supportive networks and resources can push couples toward ending the relationship. In contrast, the upper and middle classes often have greater financial stability, education, and social support, which help couples manage conflicts and stay together, leading to lower divorce rates. The emphasis in the material is on how material constraints and social capital affect marriage stability, which is why the working class is identified as having the highest rate.
