Explanation:

To determine the key factor increasing leisure time in the 1920s, we analyze each option:

• "The return of soldiers from WWI" (first option) was about reintegration, not directly leisure time increase.
• "Shortages of consumer goods" (second option) would limit access to products, not increase leisure.
• "Technological innovations such as electric appliances" (third option) reduced household work time, freeing up leisure time.
• "Longer workdays" (fourth option) would decrease leisure time, not increase it.

Answer:

C. Technological innovations such as electric appliances (assuming the options are labeled A - D with A as first, B as second, C as third, D as fourth)
