Answer:
It is a funny way of pointing out that Stanley and Elya are clearly not living at the same time.
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Louis Sachar's novel "Holes". He is famous children and young adults author.
Now, regarding this excerpt, it is quite obvious that Elya is Stanley's great-great-grandfather and, of course, there was no way Elya, at the time, could have known that he's going to have a great-great-grandson, let alone some detailed information.
This makes that line rather unnecessary. But it also can suggest that its only purpose is comedic effect by stating an obvious thing.

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Read this thesis statement: "<em>Heart of Darkness</em> plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo." What is wrong with it?:
A) It is too narrow.
B) It is a plot summary.
C) It is too obvious.
D) It is not supported by the text.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) It is too narrow.
Explanation:
As we know, this story is narrated by the protagonist, Charlie Marlow, who tells us of the journey he made going up a tropical river to locate a certain Kurtz, an elusive and legendary explorer who, according to his superiors, seems to have entrenched himself deep inside from the jungle. Soon the journey turns into a multi-troubled journey, with mystery and degradation growing as the legend of Lord Kurtz enlarges and takes shape.
The novel is based on a true story in the life of Conrad, who sailed up the Congo River as a ship captain in 1890 while working for the SGB company. There, amid the exploitation and genocide that the settlers carried out in the Congo Free State - the private preserve of King Leopold II of Belgium - Conrad was truly traumatized, wanting to relate the horror of his experience in a book in which, on the other hand, and despite the parallels between author and protagonist, no real places or characters are mentioned.
Just using the phrase<em> "plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo"</em> is too vague to describe the actual plot. Therefore, answer A is correct.
