Read the excerpt from "Civil Peace” by Chinua Achebe.He had come out of the war with five inestimable blessings—his head, his wife Maria’s head and the heads of three out of their four children. As a bonus he also had his old bicycle—a miracle too but naturally not to be compared to the safety of five human heads.

The narrator calls the survival of Jonathan, his wife, and three of their children “inestimable blessings,” while describing the bicycle as a bonus that cannot compare with their lives. This emphasizes that human life and family matter more than possessions, so the best answer is “Family is the most important thing in life.” Choice A is inaccurate because one of the four children did not survive.
