Hamy is a traitor!!!

This is actually a fairly hard problem but I'm sure you will figure it out.

Correct Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is D) shallowness, an example of. Explanation Original (A): The original version creates a run-on sentence (specifically, a comma splice if we assume the first period is meant to be a comma, or two awkwardly short, redundant sentences as written). The second sentence starts an explanation that is better integrated into the first. Choice B and C: Both misuse the semicolon (;). A semicolon must separate two independent clauses (two complete sentences). The phrase "an example of the lowest common denominator..." is a dependent phrase (an appositive) and cannot follow a semicolon without forming a grammatical error. Choice D (Correct): This option uses a comma followed by an appositive phrase ("an example of...") to efficiently and grammatically rename or describe the noun that precedes it ("shallowness"). It eliminates the redundant and wordy phrasing ("It is a very simplistic joke, and they find it to be") for a more concise and rhetorically effective sentence, which is a key focus of the SAT.

Critics of the viral "67" meme lament its intellectual shallowness. It is a very simplistic joke, and they find it to be an example of the lowest common denominator in digital humor, prioritizing immediate, thoughtless engagement over true wit.

@John Hoegerl While the "67" internet meme has garnered significant viral attention, its widespread adoption has faced a quiet, yet persistent, backlash. Critics argue that the meme's humor, rooted primarily in the simple repetition of a number, suffers from an inherent lack of substance. For these detractors, the meme represents the nadir of online comedy—a collective surrender to the lowest-effort form of content. They see the meme's persistence not as a testament to its genius, but as an indictment of the current state of digital culture, where novelty and ease of consumption are prized over true wit or originality. The disinclination to participate in the meme thus becomes a small act of protest against the perceived intellectual vapidity of the internet's dominant trends.
