Answer:

The two best choices that support the interpretation that "Harrison Bergeron" represents a society in which efforts at equality have destroyed personal freedom are:

"All this equality was due to ... the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper  General."

"The realization was blasted from his mind instantly by the sound of an automobile collision in his  head."

Explanation:

"Harrison Bergeron" is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. The setting is the year of 2081, when equality has finally been achieved by the American government. No one feels inferior, ugly, or stupid. But that came at a very high cost.

<u>People who are born with physical or intellectual advantages are forced by the Handicapper General to wear handicaps that will make them average like everyone else. The more advantages a person has, the more handicaps he has to wear. If a person is tall and athletic, he must wear weights and gears to slow him down. If he is intelligent, he must wear a type of radio in his ear that emits sounds that prevent him from thinking.</u>

<u>As we can see, society in this dystopian world has lost its sense of freedom in pursuit of equality. People are no longer allowed to be themselves. They are not allowed to feel clever, deft, or beautiful because that would mean others would feel dumb, clumsy, or repulsive.</u>

Darling, this is about you. You need to write something that happened to YOU. There's no way people on here can do this assignment for you or even try to help when it's this simple. I'm sorry, but don't you have anything you can reflect over? A homeless person, a friend who's parents were or weren't together? Just take some time and think about it.

Why did citizens support Italy government
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The people who are called to temporarily administer the republic are not owners, but servants; and the governed are not subjects, but citizens. And the sovereignty, that is the power to make choices that involve the entire community, belongs to the people, in accordance with the concept of a democracy, from the Greek demos (people) and kratìa (power). However, this power is not to be exercised arbitrarily, but in the forms and within the limits established by the rule of law.

Arrange David's goals in the order that he achieved them to become an English teacher in Spain. David was selected for a teachin
Nostrana [21]

Based on the phrases, this is the correct order of how David was able to teach English in Spain.

.


A. David took some elective courses in creative writing and linguistics while he was in high school

<span>B. David put in four hours of study each day to earn straight As throughout high school.  </span>

C. David received his Bachelor of Arts degree in education with a minor in Spanish. 

<span> D. </span><span>David completed his Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Master's program</span>

<span>E .David applied for a teaching program that allowed him to teach English to Spanish speakers in the United States</span>.

F. David was selected for a teaching program in his school and was sent to teach English in Spain.

 

I think David had a background about English when he was in High school. He was able to practice it by writing. Both A and B happened in his high school years, that is why they are ranked a and b. Then the rest would most probably happen after high school
