Read this passage from "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut:

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.

Which statement best explains how irony is used in the passage?
