Answer:

<u>B. middle-class</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Remember</em>, according to sociologist, basically, there are <u>four </u>types of socioeconomic class distinctions, they are:

  • upper-class
  • middle-class.
  • lower-class (or working-class) and
  • poor

Alexandra Penney falls within the middle-class because her background information constitutes the life of a middle-class citizen. For example, one obvious pointer to this is found when we are told she has <em>"40 white shirts." </em><em>Meaning? </em>she has more than enough clothing. The fact she presently complains over her condition signifies she is in the struggling middle-class bracket.
