Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story. Which quotation from "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonne

gut Jr. best develops the theme that attempting to make people "equal every which way" is a dangerous and foolish goal? “The musicians scrambled back into their chairs, and Harrison stripped them of their handicaps, too.” “Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.’” “All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States...” “‘…then other people’d get away with it and pretty soon we’d be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else.’”

The answer is:

"Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains."

In "Harrison Bergeron," by Kurt Vonnegut, Americans are not allowed to be more intelligent, better-looking or physically fitter than any other. As a result, the government has installed a handicap radio in George's head to control his above-average intellectual capacity.

Which excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contains humor? Well, that night we had our show; but there warn't only ab
uysha [10]

Answer:

And they laughed all the time, and that made the duke mad; and everybody left, anyway, before the show was over, but one boy which was asleep.

Explanation:

Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" tells the story and adventures of a young boy 'Huck' and his life looking for adventures.

The above provided excerpt is from chapter XXII of the book where Huck had watched a circus show. Then, the duke's performance was viewed by only twelve people, not enough to get any profit. The lines "And they laughed all the time, and that made the duke mad; and everybody left, anyway, before the show was over, but one boy which was asleep" shows the humorous occasion in the context. The performance of the duke may have attracted just a meager number of audience but those viewing it still had a lot of fun and laughed, which made the duke met. But this was all supposed to be, for he's performing and it is on the audience how they react. The anger of the Duke made everyone leave before the show was even over, except one boy who couldn't leave for he had already fallen asleep to even leave.
