"Then he discovered the annex to the party. The boys and girls disappeared occasionally, and he remembered rumors of their drinking together from hippocket flasks. He tiptoed round the house, and in each of the dozen cars waiting in the street he saw the points of light from cigarettes, from each of them heard high giggles. He wanted to denounce them but (standing in the snow, peering round the dark corner) he did not dare. He tried to be tactful. When he had returned to the front hall he coaxed the boys, “Say, if any of you fellows are thirsty, there’s some dandy ginger ale.” “Oh! Thanks!” they condescended. He sought his wife, in the pantry, and exploded, “I’d like to go in there and throw some of those young pups out of the house!"

B Red ScareRed Scare
C Harlem RenaissanceHarlem Renaissance
D Mass production of the automobile

Answer 1

The term that contributed the LEAST to creating a "jazz age" in the 1920s from the responses provided would be B Red Scare.

The Red Scare refers to the fear of communism and radical political ideas, which was largely a response to the Bolshevik Revolution and other events that instilled fear of a radical left in America. While it was significant in shaping the political landscape of the time, it did not directly contribute to the cultural and social aspects that characterized the Jazz Age, such as the emergence of flappers, the Harlem Renaissance, or the mass production of automobiles, all of which were closely tied to the vibrant cultural changes of the 1920s.
