Question

The plot in the passage suggests the story of _________.

• A. a boy in a dystopian tyrannical society
• B. a boy in a society valuing freedom and equality
• C. a boy in a society valuing progressive social change
• D. a boy in a society under military rule

Answer 1

The correct option is A a boy in a dystopian tyrannical society

The narrator first describes a future society which seems to be full of oppression (making people forcibly equal). This description qualifies for a dystopian society. The narrator then goes on to mention the name of a fourteen year-old boy- Harrison Bergeron and how he was taken away by H.G man. We can thus conclude that the passage suggests that the story is of this boy in a dystopian tyrannical society. Option A best fits into the context. The other options are incorrect because they either contradictory or do not explicitly fit into the context of the passage
