Damian Acevedo · Answer 1

D). Working Class.

Explanation:

Working class citizens are said to earn from $15000 to $45000 per annum. Therefore Eddie and Dustin fall in this circle.

Social classes are hierarchical groupings of individuals that are usually based on wealth, educational attainment, occupation, income, or membership in a subculture or social network. Many Americans recognize a simple three tier model that includes the upper class, the middle class, and the lower or working class. Meanwhile, some scholars deny the very existence of discrete social classes in American society.
