Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Its characters showed little regard for morals.

Explanation:

The 1920s were marked by an economic growth combined with a carefree living lifestyle in the United States; this era is also known as the Jazz Age or the roaring twenties.

F. Scott Fitzgerald captured this period in his novel The Great Gatsby, where a millionaire named Jay Gatsby threw parties in his mansion in Long Island filled with food, liquor, and drugs for an interested society with no regard for morals and that didn't cared for him only to attract Daisy Buchanan, (who was a married woman). The Great Gatsby represents a time of social change when America achieved prosperity from industrialization, women owned their right to vote, and alcohol consumption and the mafia began to rise uncontrollably.

Answer 2

The main way in which F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby reflected the culture of the 1920s is that "Its characters showed little regard for morals," since this was during the "roaring 20s" in which economic growth was largely left unchecked.
