Expert Answer

Answer C: The term “Lost Generation” in British history was coined to refer to the demise of young soldiers who may have been skilled professionals had they survived WWI. It was a famous phrase because the soldiers who died were of the upper-class. As such, their deaths were considered disproportionate since they robbed the nation of its future elite.
