Downward, downward, faster and faster. Suddenly he was aware with certainty and joy that below, ahead, they were waiting for him: and that they were wailing too, for the baby. For the first time, he heard something that he knew was music. He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only and echo.

What can you conclude from these lines?

1:Jonas made a good choice in leaving and finding a good home in Elsewhere
2:The author wants to leave the final choice of Jona's and Gabriel's fate to you
3:The book is ending on a positive note, with music and love in the air

I pick #2 is this correct

I agree.

Thank you so much!!

I agree with Marylyn

Yes, you are correct. Option 2: "The author wants to leave the final choice of Jonas and Gabriel's fate to you" is a valid conclusion that can be drawn from these lines. The mention of music, joy, and the notion of people waiting for them suggests a positive and hopeful ending; however, the uncertainty of the music he hears behind him leaves room for interpretation, allowing the reader to determine their ultimate fate.
