Answer 1

B) Paris was overrun by homeless people from the city and countryside who were in a hostile mood. This statement is not true regarding the storming of the Bastille.

Step-by-step explanation:

The storming of the Bastille was a significant event during the French Revolution that took place on July 14, 1789. It was an act of political rebellion by the commoners against the monarchy and represented their desire for political and social change. B) Paris was overrun by homeless people from the city and countryside who were in a hostile mood. This statement is not true regarding the storming of the Bastille. While there were tensions and anger among the people of Paris due to food shortages and economic hardships, the storming of the Bastille was primarily driven by the desire for political change and the symbol the Bastille represented, rather than by homelessness or hostility. The storming of the Bastille resulted in the release of a handful of prisoners, but no significant amount of cannons or gunpowder was recovered. However, it had a profound impact on the revolution and symbolized the people's defiance against the monarchy and their fight for liberty and equality.
