Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, featuring Lorelei Lee, was published in which year?

• A. 1923
• B. 1925
• C. 1930
• D. 1935

Answer: (B)

The question tests your knowledge of when Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, with Lorelei Lee, first appeared in print. The work was published in 1925, placing it right in the Jazz Age as a witty critique of social climbing and gender attitudes of that era. Knowing the exact publication year helps you situate the story alongside the cultural trends Anita Loos was lampooning, and it also explains why later adaptations—the Broadway musical and the famous film—came many years afterward. The other dates would place the work outside its actual debut year, either earlier than its creation or after it had already made its mark in the 1920s.
