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.

Answer:

Second two party system (1828 - 1854)

Explanation:

The Second Party System refers to a political system in the United States between 1828 and 1854, which was characterized by the dominance of two parties, the Democratic and the Whig parties, as well as an increase in citizen participation in politics and elections.

The First Party System, which existed roughly between 1792 - 1824, collapsed during the presidential elections of 1824 with the split of the then ruling Democratic-Republican party, with 4 candidates of the same party running for president. In the years between both systems, political parties pretty much disappeared from the public eye. However, Andrew Jackson, who was a very popular politician, created the Democratic Party and won the 1828 presidential election. The creation of the Whig Party in 1832 gave rise to the other element of the Second Party System.

However, the New Republican Party, which remained a minor party during much of this time, finally rose to prominence after the collapse of the Whig Party in 1852. By this time, the Third Party System, which existed until the end of the century, was characterized by the dominance of the New Republican and Democratic parties.
