Explanation:

The main idea is about a large, noisy family being fun. The sentence “...but after the fourth handshake, they were talking with my aunts and uncles like old friends.” (paragraph 15) shows family members interacting warmly, supporting the idea that a large, noisy family is fun. Other options focus on actions (handshake example, Dylan playing, toddlers playing) not directly on family being fun.

Answer:

“...but after the fourth handshake, they were talking with my aunts and uncles like old friends.” (paragraph 15)
