Explanation:

For Question #1: The Lost Generation was a group of American writers who came of age during World War I. The war's violence and disillusionment affected them. The other options are incorrect. "The war left many homeless" is not the main reason for the term. "People thought they were un - American" is false. "They were shocked when the archduke died" is about the start of the war, not the reason for the generation's name.
For Question #2: The passage states that expatriates "embraced the values of their American home". "They embraced more mainstream American views" is the closest option. "They ran for political offices under Communist ideas" is contrary to the passage. "They stopped caring about politics" is not what the passage says. "They became Republicans" is too specific and not indicated in the passage.

Answer:

Question #1: The violence of war distressed many of them.
Question #2: They embraced more mainstream American views.
