Question

Which conclusion would readers find most satisfying?

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Noah wins a blue ribbon and gets his picture in the local

newspaper. The headline reads, "Student's Model Holds

Up to 'Pressure of the Judges."

Explanation:

The fact is that there is no one way (clear-cut way) to give a satisfactory & befitting conclusion to a literary work; this is because the reader is the one who determines if he/she is satisfied with the conclusion. However, everybody (or at least, most people) like a good story; one in which the resolution is "and they lived happily ever after". In lieu of this, the conclusion that most readers find satisfying is the one where the protagonist (in this case, Noah) did a good/solid work (built a model) and he was lauded and applauded (made the headline) for it.

Hence, Option B (Noah wins a blue ribbon and gets his picture in the local newspaper. The headline reads, "Student's Model Holds Up to 'Pressure of the Judges.") is the correct answer.
