Explanation:

Question 1

In the 1920s, "hop" was used to describe high energetic movements. Option a (smooth) and c (jerky robotic - type) don't match the historical usage of "hop" in that era.

In the 1950s, "Hip Hop" was used to describe block parties that young adults would participate in. Dance parties for teens (option a) and wine - tasting parties (option c) are not the correct context for "Hip Hop" in the 1950s.

These dance parties were usually called Hippity Hops, Hop Skip & Jumps, and Hip Hops. All three options are correct as per the historical naming of these dance parties related to the early usage of "Hip Hop" - related terms.

Answer:

b. High Energetic movements
