    1. Does a person’s appearance indicate class? Can you tell a person’s education level based on their clothing? Do you know a person’s income by the car they drive?

      Sometimes a person’s appearance can give clues about their class, but I don’t think it always tells the full story. In my opinion, many wealthy people choose to live simply, they might drive a normal looking car or wear plain clothes, but everything is high quality. On the other hand, some families with lower income really value education and make sacrifices to send their kids to good schools. So, I don’t think you can always judge someone’s class, income, or education just by how they look.

    2. Money provides not just access to material goods, but also access to a lot of power.

      I agree with the idea that money gives people access to power, not just material things. This is a fact in our society. Wealth often comes with privileges that others don’t have, like better healthcare, education, and even legal advantages. Some people may not want to admit this, but it’s the reality in many places.

    3. Wealth is the most significant way of distinguishing classes, because wealth can be transferred to one’s children and perpetuate the class structure.

      I agree with this text. In my opinion, wealth is the root of life because when you have enough money, you can live without constant worry. You have more freedom to choose how to live. I also think wealth isn't just about money, it includes things like health and passive income. If you can pass those things to the next generation, it helps them have a better life too.
