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.

How did Stalin's use of propaganda create a 'cult of personality'? How much do you agree with the following statement: "Visuals
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Soviet propaganda depicted dictador Joseph Stalin as a wise and effective leader, almost infallible. He was referred to as a great Marxist-Leninist thinker; his quotes and speeches were used as guidelines for right actions for Communist Party members and citizens. Propaganda efforts sought to portray him as a hardworking comrade who tirelessly worked for the well-being of Soviet people, someone who cared about the workers, peasants, children, women, etc.

We have to agree with the phrase "Visuals are more powerful than words," because a picture, a movie or a graphic composition will get more attention and will better convey an idea or message.

Soviet posters with carefully crafted images of comrade Stalin occupied an importany place in communist propaganda.
