Question 4 • US History: Reconstruction to Present

Which statement best explains the relationship between new forms of entertainment in the 1920s and the fads of the era?

Answer
A
The rebellion of the 1920s was a fad that ended when radio became more available.
B
The availability of radio and film helped spread the word about new fads.
C
The new forms of entertainment were fads that changed with the times.
D
The entertainment industry was built on a fad that later became a solid business.

Explanation

Radio and film could reach large audiences, so they helped popularize the latest styles, dances, and activities of the 1920s. This makes “the availability of radio and film helped spread the word about new fads” the best explanation of their relationship. The other choices either claim entertainment itself was a fad or make an unsupported connection between radio and the end of rebellion.
