As the leader of his family, Jessie was unsure what decision to make. Jessie alone had the legal power to decide whether or not he should sell the 20,000 acres of forest he and his large family of cousins owned. On the one hand, several of the cousins were firm in their belief that land is the greatest treasure there is and should never be sold. Some other cousins did not want to sell the land out of environmental concerns for protecting the trees and wildlife. But most of his cousins wanted to sell the land because they would make a lot of money.

Which sentence would work best as a concluding sentence to this paragraph?

A) Jessie was troubled by all the sides of the issue.

B) Sometimes families have a hard time getting along, but they make it through.

C) Jessie was not only the leader of the family, but he loved to run marathons.

D) The land in question was very beautiful--pine tree forests, deer and turkey, even a hidden lake.
