Answer :

In the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron," George questions the consequences of people cheating on laws. This raises awareness about the societal issue of the lack of desire to question the government. By highlighting the impact of breaking laws on society, George emphasizes the importance of following rules and the potential repercussions of not doing so.

This excerpt does not specifically address the need to accept logic over emotions, the obsessive need to judge others, or the hope of a law-abiding society. Instead, it focuses on the broader concept of questioning the government and the societal implications of disregarding laws. This emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the role of individuals in upholding social order through respect for laws and authority.
