The Gilded Age refers to a period of American history!. And while soccer was developed and played during this time period, it was not by any means a widespread form of entertainment in the US during that time!. The correct answer is 4!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think probably ragtime is the answer!. Ragtime started around the beginning of the 20th century, when I think the Gilded Age was passed!.

However, I don't know whether soccer was played much in America during this period, though it has always been enormously popular in Britain and Europe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As an American and a baseball fan, and a person who enjoys game of logic!. I would have to say that #4 was NOT a type of entertainment during the gilded age!.

Soccer may have originated during 1880 - 1920!. But Soccer is boring and it never been 'entertaining!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
