On p. 17, symmetry could best be replaced with

A. fairness
B. cruelty***
C. balance
D. kindness

The story is called 'Harrison Bergeron' and if you want just read the ending on pg 17 to under stand the story better

I think it is cruelty (B) because they make Harrison add weight to his body, wear a clown nose, wear strange glasses, etc. And in the story it says they made him look like a "walking junkyard". But when I search symmetry it makes sense for the answer to be A or C because those are some of its synonyms

I was going to post a URL to the story but I couldn't. If you just search harrison bergeron on google the story should be one of the top results unless you don't want to read it

‘cruelty’ is not a synonym for ‘symmetry.’

Use www.thesaurus.com to look up ‘symmetry’ and let us know what you decide.

Yes I know but in the story it would make sense to replace it with cruelty if you read the story. But I guess since I am wrong, I would say C, balance although it is similar to A fairness I would still say balance

Balance is correct.
