2. For "People spent time with friends in the evenings": Spending time with friends in the evening is a leisure activity that can be done by both wealthy and poor people, as it doesn't require significant financial resources.
3. For "Multiple families performed household tasks together in a living room": People in poverty often lived in crowded conditions and shared living spaces for tasks, while wealthy people had staff for such tasks, so this applies to people living in poverty.
