The quotation from “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr that best develops the theme that attempting to make everyone "equal every which way" is a foolish and dangerous goal is C.“If Hazel hadn’t been able to come up with an answer to this question, George couldn’t have supplied one.”

In this dystopian story, Hazel, George's wife, suggests him cheating on the law. The law has made George wear ,round his neck, some weights ; he has to be less strong that he is by nature. This is one of the laws enacted by the government to make people equal. As Hazel notices her husband is exhausted , she suggests he take some weights out from the bag round his neck. George refuses to do so and says to Hazel  that if everyone cheated the law, they might go back to the old system where people were different. George asks his wife if she would like that to happen. She cannot answer and he cannot answer either. This inability to answer the question is dangerous because they are forced at the expense of their imposed physical pain  to believe in equality.

netineya [11]

The answer would be D. "I made just one request for the camping trip: I wanted to stay in a cabin instead of a tent."

Generally colons are used after phrases that are complete sentences. "I made just one request for the camping trip" is a complete sentence, and should therefore have a colon after it.
