Answer 2

Answer:

2. by showing that both the upper and lower classes have evolved into degraded forms

Explanation:

In "The Time Machine," H. G. Wells disapproves of Charles Darwin's expanded theory of natural selection, in which only the strongest individuals are able to survive and pass on their genes to future generations. As a result, Wells depicts Eloi and Morlocks, the former representing unintelligent and lazy Victorian governing class, which is hunted by the latter, which symbolizes working class.
