Harrisonâs handicaps â which he sheds â are a symbol of â
a) the oppressions of a flawed government
b) his insecurities about his own abilities
c) his apathetic family and friends
d) harrisonâs aptitude making him worthy of his title

I believe the best answer is A) The oppressions of a flawed government.

Explanation:

Harrison Bergeron is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. The story is set in the year 2081, in the US. The government has tried to promote equality between all people, but has failed greatly. Instead of working on people's self-esteem and sense of self-worth, instead of giving the least advantaged ones better opportunities or the tools they need to perform better, the government has made the strangest choice. It has chosen to handicap those who originally had no flaws. Harrison, for instance, has astonishing looks and intelligence. He is tall, strong, handsome, intellectually superior and, for those reasons, is forced to wear all sorts of handicappers to make him average like everyone else - weights, teeth caps, earphones, heavy spectacles, a red rubber ball on his nose, and some head gear.

As we can see, the flawed government chose a drastic and unintelligent approach to equality.

to eliminate ambiguous remote or broad reference it is necessary to focus on anaphoric reference. by definition "anaphoric reference means that a word in a text refers back to other ideas in the text for its meaning." the references should be clear and leave no room for ambiguity.

in the first case the pronoun it probably refers to the car but it has not been mentioned before so we should replace it for the car. in doing so the statement becomes clear.

in sentence number   two   the pronoun he refers to charles dickens the author. yet, the first half of the sentence is about the book a tale of two cities. to repair this it would be better to rephrase the first half : after i read   a tale of two cities by dickens, he so as to remove the remote reference.
