Answer 1

C. There is total government control.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dystopian society is characterized by futuristic view of the human life where people are under surveillance, state strives to control every aspect of human life and thinking, public information is designed to suit the government`s goals and evil plans, there is no freedom of speech or thinking, nature is destroyed - environmental disasters are all around, every person that tends to be different than others is categorized as an enemy, people are afraid of the world outside of it, there is always a great leader`s cult. Example of dystopian society in literature we can see in George Orwell`s 1984. Basically there is always an oppressive regime limiting freedom.
