Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Before the French Revolution, there were three estates in French society. From the early Middle Ages through the Early Modern Era, these were the socioeconomic strata in Christian Europe. The clergy made up the first estate, followed by the nobility and the general populace as the second and third estates. The medieval Church restricted social mobility to a certain extent. Members of the elite could only hold the highest posts in the Church. During this time, nepotism was quite prevalent. One's social standing may rise due to exceptional performance in the military or industry. This, however, was uncommon and required royal support.
The correct statement would be French society was divided into three estates before the revolution of 1789.
