APEX - D. Because the government wants to hide her exquisite beauty.

Answer: D. Because the government wants to hide her exquisite beauty.

In "Harrison Bergeron," we encounter a dystopian society in which every citizen is meant to be equal to everyone else. The way in which the government achieves this is through the use of "handicaps." People who are too intelligent, too beautiful or too graceful wear these in order to resemble everyone else. This is the case of the ballerina. As she was extremely beautiful, she is forced to wear a mask so that she is not any better than the rest of the population.

What type of sentence is demonstrated below? Sally showed up late to the yoga studio since she had a hard time finding parking.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Complex sentence

Explanation:

A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and a dependent clause.

"Sally showed up late to the yoga studio" is an independent clause since it is complete. Sally is the subject and showed is the verb.

"since she had a hard time finding parking." is a dependent clause since it started with a conjunction, since. This conjunction would be called subordinating conjunction.
