Answer:
The Handicapper General's execution of the emperor and empress support the satire because:
B. It exaggerates the danger of government control.
Step-by-step explanation:
The main theme of "Harrison Bergeron", a short story by Kurt Vonnegut, revolves around the danger of extreme government control. Set in a not-so-distant future, the story is about the American government's decision to force everyone to be equal. To do so, those who are more talented, beautiful, intelligent, etc. are required to wear handicaps that will make them ordinary. One day, 14-year-old Harrison Bergeron, who wears several handicaps to make him less smart and strong, escapes prison. He frees himself of his handicaps, dances with a beautiful ballerina, and gets shot by the Handicapper General. Their execution is broadcast on television.
Such an atrocious action serves as a symbol for government control, its unfairness, and how dangerous it can become. In Vonnegut's story, people are not free to be themselves: they must be what the government chooses for them. They are not allowed to be unique, special, and if they try to, they are not even allowed to stay alive.
