Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron." “You been crying?” he said to Hazel. “Yup,” she said. “What about?” he said. “I forge

t,” she said. “Something real sad on television.” “What was it?” he said. “It’s all kind of mixed up in my mind,” said Hazel. “Forget sad things,” said George. “I always do,” said Hazel. How does this interaction between George and Hazel develop Kurt Vonnegut’s social criticism? It demonstrates potential problems that occur in a competitive relationship. It illustrates the need for maintaining equality in a society. It suggests that women are more emotional than men. It shows how technology can dehumanize and desensitize people.

The correct answer is: It shows how technology can dehumanize and desensitize people.

Explanation: In "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, George and Hazel are not able to dwell on their son's murder. Hazel does not remember because of her level of intelligence, and George cannot remember because of his handicap. In the story's society, handicaps are the technology that ensures no one experiences distressing thoughts.

Answer:

<em>C. It describes how Alaskans adapt to the cold weather to carry out their daily tasks.</em>

With a long experience in living in Alaska, Cynthia, like many other Alaskans, has to think ahead, so she followed the weather forecast and she supplied her store the week before.

How does the title, "A Modest Proposal," tell the reader that the piece is satirical?
Sphinxa [80]

The correct answer is C. The author’s proposal is actually extreme and violent, not gentle as the title says.

Satire, similar to irony, is achieved when you are trying to mock something or someone, usually by exaggerating and writing the opposite of what is expected. So, the title A Modest Proposal is not modest by any means - Swift wrote in this text that poor people should sell their children to rich people as food in order to keep the economy going. You can clearly see how the title is satirical then.
