C. just got it right on apex

Answer 2

Answer: C.

The correct answer to this question is option C. In the story "Harrison Bergeron," people are forced to wear handicaps and masks in order to prevent them from being too beautiful, too intelligent, too talented or too athletic. This is a consequence of the government's attempt to make everyone equal. When Hazel and George's son rebels on TV, he is killed. Although the parents are watching, they are unable to show any emotion. This is because their handicaps prevent them from maintaining focus on one idea.
