Answer:
B. In the absence of surprise, a witty remark loses much of its humorous effect.
Explanation:
Answer B
Correct. In the first sentence of the third paragraph, the author makes the claim that “merriment” (amusement) can be produced only by “a sudden impression,” that is, a surprise. In the second sentence of the paragraph, the author advances that claim by using the clause “which is expected” to assert that jests (witty remarks) lacking such an element of surprise (because the audience is expecting them) lose much of their humor and are thus effectively “already destroyed.”
I think the correct answer is the first one: "The government controls every aspect of life in the community so that citizens are not at all aware of life outside their own society." Since the establishment of Sameness, things that made living difficult had disappeared, such as snow and hills, and now people hardly remember it.

According to a different source, this is the rest of the question:
Read the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.”
<em>Mrs. Bertha Flowers was the aristocrat of Black Stamps. She had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her. She was thin without the taut look of wiry people, and her printed voile dresses and flowered hats were as right for her as denim overalls for a farmer. She was our side's answer to the richest white woman in town.</em>
The passage above describes how Marguerite thinks of Mrs. Bertha Flowers. We learn of this opinion based on the things that Marguerite chooses to highlight about Mrs. Flowers. Marguerite describes how Mrs. Flowers was an sort of "aristocrat," which implies a cultured woman. She also talks about Mrs. Flowers in ways that suggest grace and elegance. This implies that Marguerite cares about culture.
