what clue in this passage helps show that this short story is science fiction?
how does the advanced technology create the dystopian setting? check all that apply.
with oppressive control and surveillance
with the freedom to think and act freely
with the dehumanization of george
with forced conformity

Explanation:

The passage describes a "mental handicap radio" that George is required by law to wear. This technology is used to control him, which shows oppressive control and surveillance. The fact that it dehumanizes him (by limiting his mental abilities) and enforces forced conformity (so he can't use his intelligence) also contributes to the dystopian setting. Freedom to think and act freely is the opposite of what the technology does.

Answer:

With oppressive control and surveillance, With the dehumanization of George, With forced conformity
