Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. Louis xvi was considered ineffectual because he failed to respond to the needs of the people. He was usually depicted as rather a weak sort of king. Hope this answers the question.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) he failed to respond to the needs of the people.

Louis XVI was considered ineffective because he failed to respond to the needs of the people.

People in France considered Louis XVI a weak king that really never supported its people and resolve the many needs they had. His intentions were good but their actions were not. Indeed, the lack of actions is what French people resented during hos monarchy.
