Question 8 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

What does Fitzgerald seem to be saying about the 1920s?

Answer
A
There was business to discuss at night.
B
Servants were given extra opportunities.
C
It was a time of excess and parties, especially among the rich.

Explanation

The choice that best captures Fitzgerald’s portrayal of the 1920s is a period of lavish partying and excess among the wealthy. In The Great Gatsby, rich characters spend freely on extravagant homes, clothes, and celebrations, while their lives often seem shallow. The business and servants choices do not express this broader theme.
