Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, wh

ile his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.How could this excerpt serve as a warning about the consequences of forced uniformity?

Answer: c. by implying that forced uniformity interferes with individuals’ intellectual development

Explanation:

In the book, "Harrison Bergeron," humanity is in a dystopian society where there is an emphasis on equality such that people who have an edge over others and given handicaps to bring them level with the rest of the population.

George here is being made to wear a mental handicap that limits his use of his above average intelligence. George is therefore unable to grow intellectually because of the handicap forced on him to promote uniformity and equality.
