To which era in American history did flappers belong?
  1. The Roaring Twenties
  2. The Gilded Age
  3. The Era of Good Feelings
  4. The Swinging Sixties
Explanation
Answer: A - “Flapper” was the term for the free-spirited, good-humored party girls of the Roaring Twenties. They often had bobbed (chin-length) hair, wore knee-length dresses, danced and drank bootlegged whiskey in speakeasies (since the '20s were the height of Prohibition). Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby and her real-life inspiration, Zelda Fitzgerald, are often regarded as the quintessential flappers.
