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.
