Answer 1

The answer to the question would be letter c

Answer 2

The correct answer and the statement that best describes what came to be known as the "Lost Generation" in British History is C. the deaths of young soldiers who might have become skilled professionals had they survived.

This generation was named "Lost Generation" because WWI took the toll of 40 million lives. In Britain, it also implied the casualties of young soldiers of upper-class background, meaning the death of the future elite of the nation. "Lost" does not only refer to the death of many young soldiers, but also to the feeling of confussion and aimlessness among the survivors who managed to return to their homeland in the post-war era.
