Answer:

B) the feelings of emptiness and loss after a war

Step-by-step explanation:

Lost generation is the name given to a group of notable American writers who lived in Paris and other European cities in the period from the end of the First World War in 1918, to the Great Depression in 1929. This group includes to figures such as John Dos Passos, Erskine Caldwell, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Sherwood Anderson and Francis Scott Fitzgerald. During a daily conversation, Gertrude Stein, an intimate friend of Hemingway, says: "You are all from a lost generation." This expression was popularized by Ernest Hemingway in his works Fiesta and Paris was a party. Some also include and for various reasons the writers Ezra Pound, Djuna Barnes and Dorothy Parker.
