According to the end of the letter, Angus McGillicutty accomplished his father's goal .
accomplished his father's goal : This is the best choice here. The text states: "Angus took the initiative to realize his father's dream of a clean nation". This means that Angus fulfilled his father's hopes of creating a successful soap store.
failed to meet his father's expectations: This is incorrect. "To realize one's dreams" does not express that Angus disappointed or "failed" his father in any way.
gave birth to a soapy nation: There is no indication in this text that Angus McGillicutty "gave birth" to any sort of "nation".
cleaned up his father's dirty reputation: There is no indication in this text that Fergus McGillicutty had a poor reputation, or that his son Angus helped improve it. Angus simply continued in the same line of work as his father.
added a new word to the lexicon: Although the writer of the letter states that McGillicutty's has become "synonymous with clean" this does not mean that Angus literally added a new word to the lexicon. This statement expresses that McGillicutty's has become known for their fine soaps and their commitment to "cleanliness".
