Answer 1

Answer: He thinks that poor people are more virtuous than the rich.

Explanation:

In the essay, “The Poor and Their Betters” by Henry Fielding, Fielding talks about how the rich seem to want to keep as many titles for themselves even the ones that they do not deserve such as being called betters in relation to the poor.

He then gives an example of how the poor are more virtuous than the rich because they rarely think about wanting to cheat people as rich people do. He infers that poor people are more cheerful and low in temperament as well.
