  • A Rome
  • B Prague
  • C Berlin
  • D London
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

From a 2004 article by Charles McGrath in The Times:

Waugh’s future is essentially an amped-up version of the late 1920’s, when the fashionable London set — or the “bright young things,” as they were known — were out every night, drinking, doing drugs and swapping partners.”
