The correct answer is False

Step-by-step explanation:

During the French Revolution, the First State was a social class that included the clergy. This means nuns, monks, bishops, etc. belonged to this class as they were part of the church. In this context, it would not be possible for a rich man to belong to the First Estate because this class was exclusive for those who were part of the clergy. Additionally, the class for noble or wealthy families that were not part of the clergy was the Second Estate. Thus, the statement is False.
