The correct response is: If you were born to a low status family, you had no chance of becoming powerful.
Explanation: One of the drawbacks of living in the Roman Empire was that social mobility was limited. If you were born into a low-status family, such as a poor or enslaved family, it was incredibly difficult to rise to a higher social position and gain power. The Roman Empire had a hierarchical social structure, with opportunities for advancement being mostly reserved for the upper classes and those born into influential families. This lack of social mobility can be seen as a significant drawback for the majority of the population who were not born into wealth or privilege.
