What, do you think, is the correct meaning of the term "bourgeois" ?

  • A.Working class with utilitarian values
  • B.Agrarian class with moral values
  • C.Middle class with conventional, conservative and materialistic values
  • D.Lower class with no fixed values

Answer: C

'Bourgeois' means middle class, with conventional, conservative and materialistic values.

The word describes the middle class, and in the sense used here its outlook as conventional and materialistic. The passage calls the nationalist movement essentially bourgeois to say it came from that class and was not a working class movement.

The working class, the agrarian class and a lower class with no fixed values are other social groups, and the passage sets the working class against 'bourgeois'.
