Answer: C. George can't finish a thought about handicaps being a bad thing.

Explanation: The detail from "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut that best communicates the idea that life gets worse when people fail to think critically is George can't finish a thought about handicaps being a bad thing. It is the year 2081. The U.S. Constitution has been amended to prevent intelligent or beautiful people feel better than others. In the name of equality, they have to wear masks or carry weights. George has an ear radio which scatters his thoughts because of his intelligence, this prevents him from finishing his thoughts.
