Answer:

B. Assertion.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the speaker remembers how he was greatly impressed by the quips he read in a book. The quip he found funny and effective was by Robert Benchley, who jokes about the two types of people in the world.

Looking at the quip, we the readers are also quite expectant of something that shows a demarcation of these two groups of people. But all this is removed when Benchley states "<em>those who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't</em>". This is comic, and makes the speaker as well as us, laugh at it though the result was quite unexpected.

So, in using the last line "<em>Humor is based on the unexpected</em>" as a thesis statement and a topic sentence, the speaker asserts that things like that are what humors people more than the real, common jokes. The assertion that the unexpected is what makes it funny makes the whole thesis statement an effective one for the paper.

Should bullies be legally responsible for there actions?
harina [27]
I think Bullies should be legally responsible for their actions. Bullying can affect someone in extreme ways, you can cause depression which then leads to even more things like other mental illnesses.

There is no reason to be a bully, everyone just needs to try and treat people how they want to be treated. Imagine if you were the one being bullied and how it would feel. Nobody wants to be put down with negative thoughts and emotions.

Bullying has a huge effect on people. It is a very bad thing to do, and you wouldn’t want to be responsible if something you said led to a worse situation. Imagine if you were a bully to someone and it made him go to extreme levels of self harm. In this case yes bully should be legally responsible for their actions.
