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".

a short sad story ending with(finally she understood , it is better to be alone than to be with wrong people
Iteru [2.4K]
A girl starts a new year of school, and she meets some new people. These new people are seen as the “cool kids”, so in order to fit in, she starts ghosting her own friends and hangs out more with these new kids. She had an incessant need to have social attention, so she surrounds herself in the “popular” group until she too is considered popular. Eventually, the other kids start doing bad things that the girl doesn’t agree with, but at this point, these are her only friends. It eventually escalates to a point where the girl doesn’t want to hang out with these bad kids anymore, even though that would leave her alone. She finally realized, it was better to be alone than with the wrong people.
