Answer: Intelligence, strength, and good looks are all qualities that Harrison Bergeron possesses, which is just what the government is trying to control

Explanation: The last section, "is just what the government is trying to control", doesn't need the word "just" in the sentence. I also changed it a little bit because I feel that it is more proficient that way.
