the year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. they weren’t only equal before god and the law. they were equal every which way. nobody was smarter than anybody else. nobody was better looking than anybody else. nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. all this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the united states handicapper general.

b. the repetition of the word "nobody" emphasizes that everyone has the same abilities.
c. the depiction of the bergerons watching television at home implies that people have become isolated from each other.
d. the emphasis on government-enforced equality suggests that something is very wrong with society.
