What is wrong in this sentence is the pronoun their.
As you can see, the pronoun <em>their </em>in this sentence refers to <em>the modern American family. </em>Since the word <em>family </em>is singular, the pronoun which modifies it also has to be singular. So, instead of using the pronoun <em>their, </em>it should be <em></em><u>its.</u>

Answer:

Making choices about life are important because we must frequently live with the consequences of those choices.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because the poem is a metaphor for real life. This poem is trying to tell us that we should do something different from everyone else with our lives. We should do this because then we as the human race will thrive rather than stay the same and not make growth. This answer simply makes the most sense and is without a doubt the correct answer.

I hope this helps you out! Have a lovely afternoon!
