Default Grammar Question!!!

Hi, everyone...

Please choose imgrammatical part and tell me the reason...

Through humor, you can soften some of ① the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, ② no matter how your situation might be painful, you can survive it. People in Idaho remember well the collapse of the great Teton Dam. ③ They still talk about the families who, after they were safe on high ground, were able to see the humor in their tragic plight. ④ As several homes floated by, one family member joked: "There goes the Jorgensens' place. They're just trying to keep up with the Joneses"-⑤ whose house had drifted past moments earlier.

Best regards!!!

People in Idaho remember well the collapse of the great Teton Dam. They still talk about the families who, after becoming safe on high-ground, were able to see the humor in their tragic plight. As several homes floated by, one family member joked: "There goes the Jorgensens' place. They're just trying to keep up with the Joneses", whose house had drifted past moments earlier.


A nice story. Thanks.
