Answer 2

Answer:

C. increased literacy rates in the middle class.

D. the greater amount of leisure available to people.

Explanation:

The 18th century was the period of industrialisation in England, which gave people more money and time, due to machines that allowed to produce more in less time. So, the leisure moments were wider, and literacy was increasing in middle classes, but poor people stayed the same, even poorer, and rich people richer. A standard impact was to middle classes, which didn't suffer bigger changes.
