Read the paragraph.Humor is part of everyday life, but what each individual thinks is funny differs. In one study, Dr. Sara Reed found that "each person’s taste in humor is based on their own real-life experiences. Humor derives from one’s unique background knowledge.” This means that what makes me laugh may not make you laugh.

B
There are certain individuals who are incapable of laughter as well.
C
Dr. Sara Reed is a world-renowned psychologist who has won many different research awards for her work.
D
Individuals from certain cultures and traditions may not understand jokes that discuss trends from a specific country.

Explanation

The paragraph says humor depends on each person’s real-life experiences and background knowledge, so people can find different things funny. This supports the choice that laughter is not the same for all individuals. Choice D gives one possible example, but the paragraph does not specifically discuss cultures or jokes about trends in a particular country.
