Answer 1

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "a. millions of people died during the Nigerian civil war." Jonathan so happy that his family has "five heads" on their shoulders because millions of people died during the Nigerian civil war.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: a. millions of people died during the Nigerian civil war

The implication that we can take from the sentence is that it is very common for People during the civil war to constantly lose their members of family in the war.

So, when jonathan say he is happy his family has five heads, he meant that even if one or two of his family died, there would be someone that alive to take care of the family.
