And the little Pig put on the cover again in an instant, boiled him up, and ate him for supper, and lived happy ever after.
Which statement best explains why this conclusion is reasonable?

The statement that best explains why this conclusion is reasonable is: The wolf is going down the pig's chimney, so it makes sense that he would get cooked.
This explanation is fitting because it directly relates to the events of the story, where the wolf's attempt to enter the pig's house through the chimney leads to his downfall. The conclusion demonstrates the pig's cleverness in using the wolf's own actions against him, resulting in the wolf falling into the pot and being cooked.
