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 ...

The comments on this were indeed a red herring, if it weren't for them you'd probably be wondering how or why the question was ever closed in the first place, and voted to reopen it.

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.
