Mr. Keesing had a good laugh at my arguments, but when I proceeded to talk my way through the next lesson, he assigned me a second essay. This time it was supposed to be on 'An Incorrigible Chatterbox'. I handed it in and Mr Keesing had nothing to complain about for two whole lessons. However, during the third lesson, he'd finally had enough. Anne Frank, as a punishment for talking in class, write an essay entitled-Quack, Quack, Quack, said Mistress Chatterbox'."
What does 'had a good laugh' imply, in the context of Mr. Keesing? It means that he:

Options

A. celebrated his ability to make Anne write the essay.
B. ridiculed Anne in front of the whole class.
C. pulled up Anne for her arguments in the essay.
D. realised the humour in it and was amused.

Answer

D

Explanation

Here, .Had a good laugh. means laughing heartily in a positive sense. Mr. Keesing neither pulled up nor ridiculed Anne. He was not celebrating her ability to write essay as well. He realised the wittiness behind Anne.s remark.
