What is the effect of the underlined sentence on page 2?

Underlined sentence: "It's filling up the deepest gulf that separates class from class and soul from soul."

Context: "Playing! The hardest job I ever tackled, make no mistake about that, Mother. But you have no idea how frightfully interesting it is to take a human being and change her into a quite different human being by creating a new speech for her."

It demonstrates Higgins's sense of humor.
It reveals Higgins's modesty about his work.
It shows that Higgins is curious about human nature.

The correct answer is D. Higgins is curious about human nature and what separates each person from another. What he’s saying is not humorous, but his words come from his heart, and his fascination with human nature is on display here.
