Answer:

“He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.”

Explanation:

The options to the question are:

“If you see this boy,” said the ballerina, “do not—I repeat, do not—try to reason with him.”

“He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.”

“My God—” said George, “that must be Harrison!”

“Gee—I could tell that one was a doozy,” said Hazel.

Irony can be defined as the state of affairs that is contradictory opposite to what one would normally expect.

The ironic thing about the excerpt from <em>Harrison Bergeron </em>by Kurt Vonnegut is option B because it is contradictory for someone that is considered a genius and an athlete to be looked upon as "under-handicapped" and "regarded as extremely dangerous".

What does the author convey with the statement, "the light goes out of the marsh"?
blagie [28]
This happens when Ruby becomes disappointed with Tom when the hose leaks and Ruby can no longer dive. The two stop hanging out, and Tom loses her friendship. 

The light, then, is the light that her friendship brought to his life. Her friendship is light -- it is happiness and is joy to Tom. When the two friends stop hanging out, the light goes out of the marsh. The author is saying the joy has gone out of Tom's life.

On the first day of the school year, Ms. Jackson asks her fourth-grade class to write a paragraph about the most important event
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: Students must tap into their episodic memories

Explanation:

Episodic memory is defined as the ability to store memories related to our experiences. In this type of memory, important events are stored for a person, things related to his childhood, important events that he has lived before.

In this case, Mrs. Jackson wants to know the most important event of the student's summer vacations. Students use episodic memory to be able to identify which was the event that most marked it positively and which was important during their summer vacations.

While it is true that during the holidays the students enjoyed and did activities that involved a lot of fun, there was some moment that stood out and it is the one that the teacher wants to know. Here comes what episodic memory.
