Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The word "pinnacle" means the highest or most successful point of something, often referred to as the peak or climax.

2. In the passage, the year 1789 is described as the moment when the French Revolution reached its most intense and significant phase, such as the storming of the Bastille.

3. Therefore, "pinnacle" fits perfectly as it indicates the climax of the revolution.

4. The other options do not fit the context:
   - "fall" suggests a decline, which contradicts the passage.
   - "foundation" means the beginning, not the peak.
   - "middle" does not emphasize the importance or intensity of that year.

**Answer:** pinnacle
