Read this passage from "harrison bergeron" by kurt vonnegut:
he tried to think a little about the ballerinas. they weren't 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.
which statement best describes the overall impact of the setting?
a. witnessing something beautiful is compared to "something the cat drug in," which is a simile.
b. george's watching the ballerinas on television at home implies that society relies too heavily on technology.
c. the description of the ballerinas as average suggests that in the future everyone will be able to do what makes them happy.
d. the emphasis on how people have been handicapped implies that society has gone to extremes to ensure equality.
