Explanation:

Analyze the symbolic meaning of the narrator's name

The name "Equality 7-2521" strips away personal identity, replacing a unique human name with a collective concept ("Equality") and a standardized identification number.

Connect the name to the central conflict of the novella

By forcing citizens to use numbers and collective nouns instead of individual names, the dystopian state enforces absolute conformity and suppresses personal identity.

Answer:

• all people deserve equal opportunity.
• individuality is lost in a collective society. (Correct answer)
• brotherhood and cooperation strengthen society.
• individual differences are inconsequential.
