The lost generation is the thought revealed in which book? A. Gone with the Wind B. The Great Gatsby C. A Tale of Two Cities D. Jane Eyer

The correct answer is B. The Great Gatsby.

The term "Lost Generation" is most famously associated with a group of American writers who came of age during World War I and felt disillusioned with traditional American values after the war. While the term itself was popularized by Ernest Hemingway (who attributed it to Gertrude Stein), it is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby that is considered a quintessential literary portrait of the Lost Generation's experiences—the moral emptiness, the pursuit of pleasure, and the collapse of the American Dream in the 1920s.

Why not the others?

A. Gone with the Wind: Depicts the American South during the Civil War and Reconstruction, not the Lost Generation.

C. A Tale of Two Cities: Set during the French Revolution, written in the 19th century.

D. Jane Eyre: A 19th-century British novel, unrelated to the post-WWI Lost Generation theme.
