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".

lara [203]

In the sentence "They say we will not be able to afford to own houses in a few years." there's a <u>pronoun reference</u> error. It is unclear who the pronouns<em> they </em>or <em>we </em>are referring to.

Pronouns are used to replace nouns, and it is considered to be a pronoun reference error when the reader is unable to deduce from the text the noun being replaced by the pronoun.
