Which conclusion would readers find most satisfying? An interested student decides to see how much weight
Noah's bridge will hold. She places a pile of books on it.
and it smashes to pieces.
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."
Because he could not get away from the office, Noah's
father is unable to deliver Noah's model to the school in
time for judging. Noah's entry is marked as "Not
Judged."
Although the judges seem impressed with Noah's
model, it does not earn a ribbon. Noah becomes very
upset and regrets putting so much work into the science
fair.

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.
