Read the paragraph from the text and the directions that follow.

But, when all the girls in town are seeking to steal your husband, what are you going to do about it, if you are a woman of forty-five with a heaviness around the hips and a disinclination to learn the camel walk? Nor can you get the poachers off the scent by crossing the trail with an eligible bachelor. Logically, the young things should have enough sense to ignore a preempted husband and attend to the serious business of getting themselves husbands. But they haven’t. They seem to prefer the husbands of the other women. And curiously, the more they engage in this exotic sport of poaching, the less keen they become about owning a property for somebody else to poach on.

According to the author, what is one reason that flappers steal older women’s husbands? Answer choices for the above question

1: All flappers prefer men who are married.

2: There are not enough single men available.

3: All flappers want to be married themselves.

4: There are no eligible bachelors who prefer flappers

Answer: Hi there! My best guess for this question would be 1: All flappers prefer men who are married.

Explanation: Every other answer just doesn't feel right to me for some reason...?

With 2, the speaker never said that there were not enough single men available for flappers. In fact, they were leaving to go FOR the flappers since they were "more beautiful" than their wide-hipped and grey wives, which is why 4 makes no sense to me.

Lastly, choice 3 is just really confusing to me, so I'd rather not choose it for the sake of misinterpreting it...

Please feel free to disagree with my answer. I hope that this helps out in some way. :)
