Answer 1

Option: Criticized the American pressure to conform and the phoniness of American life.

Explanation:

The Lonely Crowd written by David Riesman criticized the people of the 1950s who no longer made decisions based on morals and values. He explains that the people of post-WW II inquire their neighbour support and fear living outcast from their community.

The Catcher in the Rye served as expressing separation in several generations of youth and adults who have regarded themselves in conflict with the norms and traditions of society. Both boys, Huck and Holden, motivated to kill themselves by a feeling of loneliness. Youngsters in prep schools while unable to cope, took drugs, or had breakdowns.

While many WWII soldiers mixed into American society, many others suffered from psychic injuries. Mental health clinics increased rapidly during this period. Racial tensions increased, leading to the growth of the Civil Rights Movement.
