Question

Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron."

“I think I’d make a good Handicapper General.”

“Good as anybody else,” said George.

“Who knows better’n I do what normal is?” said Hazel.

How does the dialogue develop Hazel’s character?
It depicts her as a round character because she is looking to change her career.
It depicts her as a flat character because she represents the stereotype of average intelligence.
It depicts her as a round character because she is good at something, which makes her better than her peers.
It depicts her as a flat character because she is unclear about what normal means.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: It depicts her as a flat character because she represents the stereotype of average intelligence.

In this dialogue, Hazel's statement "Who knows better’n I do what normal is?" suggests that she has a limited understanding of what normal means. This depiction of her as someone with average intelligence contributes to her portrayal as a flat character, who lacks depth or complexity.
