The answer to the question: Which of the following statements would William Graham Sumner most likely have agreed with?, is, B: Those who are poor live in poverty because they are lazy.

Explanation:

William Graham Sumner was one of the best recognized American sociologists, who taught in Yale University for several years, and also became a Deacon in his time. Sumner was a firm believer that socialism, and that constant focus on helping out the poor by the rich, and the responsibility towards the poor, was returning Europe to a barbaric time. What he strongly supported, was, strong work, instead of charity, for people to improve themselves. In essence, he believed that those who remained poor did so because they were not working hard enough, or were incapable, of tailoring their futures. This viewpoint, although not directly derived from Social Darwinism, does follow some of its structures, as this theory expounds that economically and socially, only the fittest survive.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
