Question

on week-ends my neighbors rolls-royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight.... and on mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and hammers and garden-shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.

what does fitzgerald seem to be saying about the 1920s?
○ there was business to discuss at night.
○ servants were given extra opportunities.
○ it was a time of excess and parties, especially among the rich.
done

Explanation:

The excerpt describes a wealthy neighbor's Rolls-Royce being used nonstop to ferry partygoers on weekends, followed by a large team of servants spending an entire Monday fixing the damage from the lavish parties. This directly illustrates extreme indulgence and party culture among the affluent in the 1920s, which matches the third option. The other options are not supported: there is no mention of business meetings, and the servants are shown cleaning up excess, not getting extra opportunities.

Answer:

It was a time of excess and parties, especially among the rich.
