D. Satire

Explanation: In Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron", Vonnegut uses satire and irony to expose and condemn the desire to have a society of complete equality. It is the year 2081 and the U.S. Constitution has been amended to prevent intelligent or beautiful people from feeling better than others. They are forced to wear masks or carry weights in the name of equality. People whose intelligence is above normal as George have to wear an ear radio that scatters their thoughts. The author uses satire to expose and condemn the foolishness of a society that has been made equal through handicapping its best members.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
