Which condition is considered most dangerous by George and Hazel Bergeron in "Harrison Bergeron"?

Answer
A
conformity
B
handicap
C
equality
D
competition

Explanation

George accepts his handicaps because he believes that without them, people would compete with one another and society would return to the “dark ages.” The Bergerons therefore treat competition as the dangerous condition, even though the story presents their enforced equality as oppressive.
