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.

PLS HURRY
masha68 [24]

Answer:

None of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

The main difference between MacArthur's and Truman's strategies in Korea was that: "MacArthur wanted to push beyond the 38th parallel, while Truman did not want to risk a conflict with China or the Soviet Union."

During the Korean War, Douglas MacArthur led the American-led coalition of United Nations troops. In their fight against North Korean troops, MacArthur seeks permission to bomb communist China and subsequently use Nationalist Chinese forces from Taiwan against China, however, President Truman refused.

Hence, in this case, and considering the available options, the right answer is "None of these choices are correct."
