Question

mod- fall final part 2
the \flappers\ of the 1920s --
many women were elected to national political office
women were barred from traditionally male occupations
wore short dresses, makeup, and smoke cigarettes

Explanation:

To determine the correct option about 1920s "flappers", we analyze each choice:

• The first option is incorrect because few women were elected to national political office in the 1920s.
• The second option is incorrect as flappers represented a shift in women's social norms, and being barred from male occupations was not characteristic of flappers (it was more of a broader societal issue, not specific to flappers).
• The third option is correct: Flappers were known for their new fashion and social behavior, including wearing short dresses, makeup, and smoking cigarettes, which challenged traditional gender norms of the time.

Answer:

C. Wore short dresses, makeup, and smoke cigarettes (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A as "Many women were elected...", B as "Women were barred...", C as "Wore short dresses...")
