Dewey · Answer 2

B. The Model T was generally affordable allowing more people to own them. The Roaring Twenties was a decade of economical and cultural prosperity in Western countries, with many aspects of entertainment (such as jazz, movies and magazines) and quality-of-life appliances (electronics and telephony mostly) becoming more present in people's lives.

Henry Ford's automobiles was one of the major industries in that decade, being that his mass-produced and cheaper-priced cars made such items affordable to the middle class, giving that until Ford started producing the Model T in large scale, cars where a luxury item (this made cars becoming a social aspect of bigger importance than they where until then).
