"Now I am old-fashioned. A woman, I consider, should be womanly. I have no patience with the modern girl who jazzes from morning

Answer:

A young woman who embraced new fashions and new attitudes of the day.

Explanation:

The word "flapper" is a noun that refers to a woman or a young person of the female gender intent on enjoying her life as she sees fit. She does not care about what society thinks or feels and her focus is on herself.

In the given excerpt from Agatha Christie's The Murder on the Links, the speaker talks about how she detests modern girls<em> "who jazzes from morning to night, smokes like a chimney, and uses language which would make a billingsgaté fishwoman blush!" </em>This is exactly what a "flapper" is, a young woman who cares nothing except for her own enjoyment.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Which World received the most diseases?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Ischemic heart disease, or coronary artery disease

Explanation:

The deadliest disease in the world is coronary artery disease (CAD). Also called ischemic heart disease, CAD occurs when the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart become narrowed. Untreated CAD can lead to chest pain, heart failure, and arrhythmias.

Impact of CAD across the world

Although it’s still the leading cause of death, mortality rates have declined in many European countries and in the United States. This may be due to better public health education, access to healthcare, and forms of prevention. However, in many developing nations, mortality rates of CAD are on the rise. An increasing life span, socioeconomic changes, and lifestyle risk factors play a role in this rise.

Risk factors and prevention

Risk factors for CAD include:

high blood pressure

high cholesterol

smoking

family history of CAD

diabetes

being overweight

Talk to your doctor if you have one or more of these risk factors.

You can prevent CAD with medications and by maintaining good heart health. Some steps you can take to decrease your risk include:

exercising regularly

maintaining a healthy weight

eating a balanced diet that’s low in sodium and high in fruits and vegetables

avoiding smoking

drinking only in moderation
