Answer:
A. Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive attribute.
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the following passage of "Harrison Bergeron":
"And George, while 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."
A. Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive attribute.
B. Handicapping intelligence is pointless because determining whether one’s intelligence is above normal is a matter of opinion.
C. If George were really that intelligent, he would remove the device from his ear.
D. The mental handicap radio is incapable of correcting physical advantages.
Irony is a literary device in which the outcome of the story is the opposite from what the reader would normally expect. In this case, the reader would normally assume that the government would consider intelligence to be a positive quality. Moreover, we would assume that the government would not want to interfere with it. However, in this society, the government wants people to be less intelligent, and goes to great lengths in order to achieve it.

What is a short-term benefit for a company to regularly keeping wages low?
Employees find high job satisfaction.
Companies can expect a high turn-over.
Employees will become demoralized.
The company can keep costs to a minimum.
Answer:
The company can keep costs to a minimum.
Explanation:
This is the advantage that such a strategy would have for a company in the short-term. A company that regularly keeps wages low is likely to save money initially. However, this strategy is not a successful one in the long term. Such a company would most likely have employees who are unhappy or unsatisfied with their job. It would also lead to a high turn-over due to employees being demoralized.
