ight,\ said george. he began to think glimmeringly about his abnormal son who was now in jail, about harrison, but a twenty - one - gun salute in his head stopped that. 22 \boy!\ said hazel, \that was a doozy, wasnt it?\ 23 it was such a doozy that george was white and trembling, and tears stood on the rims of his red eyes. two of of the eight ballerinas had collapsed to the studio floor, were holding their temples.
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option a: The text doesn't imply Hazel's handicaps make her feel normal.
- Option b: In the story's context (from "Harrison Bergeron"), Hazel has average intelligence, so she doesn't need handicaps (unlike George who does). Her statement about knowing "normal" ties to her average intelligence, as she represents the norm without handicaps for intelligence.
- Option c: There's no indication Hazel is more intelligent than George; George has handicaps due to above - average intelligence.
- Option d: Hazel is of average, not above - average, intelligence.
