Question

read the excerpt from \harrison bergeron\. he tried to think a little about the ballerinas. they werent really very good - no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. they were burdened with sash - weights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. george was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldnt be handicapped. this excerpt best illustrates kurt vonneguts message that everyone in a society should have equal talent and beauty, advances in technology should be closely monitored, television viewing limits individual thought and creativity, absolute equality prevents personal freedoms of expression.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, ballerinas are handicapped to ensure equality. They are weighed down and their faces masked so no one feels inferior. This shows absolute equality restricts their freedom to perform freely and express their natural grace and beauty.

Answer:

D. absolute equality prevents personal freedoms of expression
