Please read the following excerpt from an essay, and answer the question that follows.I've never actually met a real live humori

st. Well, not in person at any rate. However, one summer, having a lot of time on my hands, I discovered unexpected treasures lurking in the local public library. Among the nuggets I unearthed in those musty stacks was a book by humorist Robert Benchley. To this day I remember one of his quips. He wrote, "There are two kinds of people in this world: those who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't." After laughing out loud, I became pensive. I wondered why the quip was so funny. A year or so later, I formed a theory. Humor is based on the unexpected.In the passage above, the topic sentence and the thesis are one and the same. What makes the last sentence effective as a thesis statement? A. Specific detailB. AssertionC. SimplicityD. Humor

Answer:

A. Specific Detail

Explanation:

It is definitely not humor or assertion, which is a confident, forceful statement.  I don't see it as simplicity because that is plain, natural, or easy to understand.  When writing a thesis statement, your topic needs to be strong and to the point, which is more a specific detail.  In this case, it is a specific detail about the narrator.

Choose a PROVERB and explain what it means.​
babymother [125]

Answer:

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

Explanation:

This proverb explains that no matter what, if you are a fool, you will not have money since you do not understand how to use it.

For example, how do you think a wise man would utilize his credit cards verses a foolish man? The wise man would be diligent to spend only what he could afford and make sure to pay back every penny, but the fool would spend it all right away.
