(apex) read this passage from "harrison bergeron" by kurt vonnegut jr.: "it was tragic, all right, but george and hazel couldn't think about it very hard. hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts. and george, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little metal 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 brain" which two ideas does the passage most clearly develop? a) the inability to concentrate on difficult things; the government's insistence that nobody has an advantage over another. b) the appreciation of freedom after it is taken away; understanding the challenged by walking in their shoes. c) the intrusion of government in people's lives; the differing opinions of what makes everyone equal. d) the benefits of an authoritarian government; the idea that being "average" is unacceptable.

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father
