Answer: b. The absurdity of Harrison's exaggerated handicaps ridicules society's obsession with equality.

Explanation: in "Harrison Bergeron" the author describes a world where everyone is equal, nobody is better than anyone else in any sense. To achieve this, they make the people wear handicaps that inhibit their special gifts (singing well, good looking appearance, intelligence, etc). Harrison was specially gifted in many areas, so he had to wear a lot of handicaps, this ridicules the society's obsession with equality (they equalized the people in the lowest level).

Poem about Mother's Day
lions [1.4K]
I love my mother a lot,
How much I’ve sought and thought.
I didn’t know what for her I should get,
I saw what I did and my mind was set.
I couldn’t buy fancy jewelry or even food,
But I bought flowers that look and smell good.
Happy Mother’s Day to my lovely mother,
I don’t think I could ever ask for another.
