Audit failed for wanting to recommend deletion to an answer that reads like a joke solution
As has already been mentioned several times in all the "failed audit" meta questions mods have no say in what questions go into audits.
Technically though, that is an actual valid workable answer to ...

Exactly. Your first thought would, preferably, been to upvote the high quality and helpful content.

Why did I fail this review audit?
It could be improved quite a bit. The formatting could be changed to a list. Proper punctuation could be added. Proper capitalization could be added.
That's an example of a low-quality answer.

This answer is not correct (as observed by one person who commented).
So the author of the answer should be pinged so they can fix the answer.

There is no real way that the answer you were reviewing "Looks OK". It has several red flags that, at the very least, warrant some kind of investigation or action.
