Question

question 4 of 5
why do hazel and george show very little emotion about their sons death?

a. because their handicaps cause them to forget about it quickly

b. because the government has removed peoples ability to feel emotions

c. because the newscast does not identify the outlaw as their son

d. because the newscast doesnt show his face

Explanation:

In Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron," Hazel has average intelligence (no long-term memory retention) and George wears a mental handicap radio that disrupts his thoughts. When they learn of their son's death, Hazel forgets immediately, and George’s handicap prevents him from sustaining grief or clear memory of the event, leading to little emotional display.

Answer:

A. Because their handicaps cause them to forget about it quickly
