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>

In a few paragraphs, what was William Shakespeare's education?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:  <em>Shakespeare probably began his education at the age of six or seven at the Stratford grammar school. Although we have no record of Shakespeare attending the school. It seems most likely he would've attended the Stratford Grammar School. Like most all of the great poets and dramatists of the time, Shakespeare learned his basic reading and writing skills from an ABC, or horn-book. Shakespeare's daily activities after he left school and before he re-emerged as a professional actor in the late 1580s are impossible to trace. </em>

Explanation: I hope this helps. :)

A reporter is covering a protest at a local chemical plant suspected of dumping toxic chemicals into the water supply. The repor
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Minimize harm because the protester might be affected by the interview.

Seek truth because the protester made a statement about a major issue.

Explanation:

The SPJ Code of Ethics is a guide that encourages journalists to take responsibility for the information they provide. It is not a strict set of rules, but it's important either way because some basic principles need to be followed in sensitive cases, such as this one.

As the protester is a minor, she needs to be protected. That's why the harm should be minimized as much as it's possible. But, at the same time, there is a possibility that the mother is not telling the truth. It is understandable that she may not want her daughter to be exposed, but the truth matters. If the protester is aware of the fact her face may be on television and wants to be heard, it should be alright to air the interview. After all, she spoke about an important issue. That's why the reporter should seek the truth and then try making the right decision.

Thus, the correct options are the last two.
