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 mental 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
brains.

Answer:

C or "by implying that forced uniformity interferes with individuals' intellectual development"

Step-by-step explanation:

A)by suggesting that forced uniformity specifically benefits individuals who are not smart

C)by implying that forced uniformity interferes with individuals' intellectual development

These two answers make the most sense, but with the wording of the question, suggest a lean towards the second.

Considering it wants a warning of the consequences it seems to want something negative, which C offers. A actually provides support for uniformity, but also makes more sense in the context of what was just read, especially in regards to the last line.

I would suggest you take a deeper look at the previous questions to see whether your teacher really wants you to view the text in a good or bad light, which would help you identify the best answer; but for now I suggest C.
