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.

Libertarian theory of the press EXAMPLE
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Journalists in Finland are top-rated in ranks by the World Press Freedom Index because of the unrestricted freedom their journalists enjoy while writing reports.

Explanation:

The Libertarian Theory of the press is a normative theory of the press where journalists are granted maximum freedom to publish stories, news and classified information without interruption by the government.

Finland has consistently ranked first position as a country where freedom of information is granted and journalists can publish news without fear of intimidation by the people or the government. This is not obtainable in authoritarian states like Russia.
