Answer:
"Where Is Here?" takes place:
b. on a chilly, damp evening at sunset
Explanation:
"Where Is Here" is short story by author Joyce Carol Oates. The answer to this question concerning the setting can be found at the beginning of the story, in the first two paragraphs. Take a look at the evidence below:
<em>[...] when, one November evening at dusk, the doorbell rang</em>
<em>So, in the chill, damp, deepening dusk, the stranger wandered around the property</em>
Thus, we can safely say the story takes place b. on a chilly, damp evening at sunset.

Answer:
What happened as a result of the drive for equality in "Harrison Bergeron" is that society became both average and unfair.
Explanation:
"Harrison Bergeron" is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Set In the year of 2081, when the American government is able to provide total equality. However, this equality comes in a strange and most unfair manner. People are not allowed to be themselves so that others - less beautiful, intelligent or capable - do not feel bad about their disadvantages. The Handicapper General forces those who have advantages to be handicapped. Harrison Bergeron, a fourteen-year-old, who has astonishing looks and intelligence is forced to wear all sorts of handicappers to make him average like everyone else - weights, teeth caps, earphones, heavy spectacles, a red rubber ball on his nose, some head gear.
<u>As we can see, the drive for equality took a bad and sudden turn. In Harrison's society, no one is truly free. People cannot voice their opinions or express their true selves in any way. They suffer, of course, but they have grown used to and afraid of it at the same time. The government will punish those who dare to be spectacular (Harrison is shot and killed by the Handicapper General when he removes his handicaps on TV). Society must remain average to be equal, even if this equality is unfair.</u>
Because he is different from the rest
I believe the correct answer is hyperbole.
Hyperbole is a rhetorical figure of speech which show some kind of exaggeration - in this particular example, the hyperbole is found in the words 'an hundred years.' This is so because the poet won't really spend a hundred years to praise the woman's eyes, but is rather exaggerating a bit.
