Correct Answer: eke
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
The phrasal verb eke out a living means to barely manage to make enough money to survive or to maintain a basic standard of living. This expression conveys the idea that even the middle class, which is usually more financially stable, has difficulty making ends meet during a depression.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: During a depression even the affluent middle class struggles to eke out a living.
