Answer:
B. In the absence of surprise, a witty remark loses much of its humorous effect.

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.

The voice of the following sentence is in PASSIVE voice. Active voice means that the noun performing the action is stated first before the object. The correct answer is letter "A. Passive". If the sentence is changed into active voice, it would be like this: "The movers moved the sofa into the living room." I hope this helps.
