Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage describes DeShawn's work - related travel and encounter with a black howler monkey. A concluding sentence should have a positive or neutral tone that wraps up the narrative. Option A has an angry tone and seems out - of - place as a conclusion. Option C's decision to hike back to the work site is rather abrupt as a conclusion. Option D has an angry tone. Option B shows DeShawn calming down and being thankful for the experience, which is a good way to conclude the story.

Answer:

B. DeShawn started to breathe normally again and smiled, thankful for the opportunity to see the amazing creature up close.
