Residents complained to the county officials that people are bringing in animals to their subdivision. One resident said that there is an offensive odor coming from a neighbor’s house where chickens, pigs, and cows are kept. Roosters crow every morning, waking his family up. "We bought expensive homes, and we don’t want to wake up at 4:00 in the morning when a rooster crows," said Mr. Jones.

Jerry Crosby, who lives near Valley View, has pigs and cows on his land next to the subdivision. He argued that he and other residents have a right to keep animals. "It’s a free country," he said. "No one in this country has a right to tell me or anyone else what we can do with our land. Besides, we were here long before the subdivision was built." The officials did not take action on the complaint, but promised to study the problem. It seems clear that there is a clash between an old world and a new one.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe its B because the story is about how Mr. Jones lives in a new house in a subdivision where people own animals. B seems like the best supporter of the view of the residents that moved into the subdivision.
