The second choice is a fragment, not a complete sentence.
I believe the correct choice is number one, because if you turn the sentence around, it answers the question of why the crowd is gathered. You may want to confirm on the website chompchomp.com (Grammar Bites).

Answer:
Father makes the boys replace the Duvitch family's fish.
Explanation:
In the short story "The Strangers That Came to Town" by Ambrose Flack, the plot of the story revolves around the Duvitch family who were deemed strange and weird by the residents of Syringa Street. But one incident led to the change in everyone's perspective, making the family a new 'attraction' for the whole neighborhood.
The stereotypical treatment of the Duvitch family led everyone to not talk to or approach them, and they were kept all alone in their own world. So, when the fishing trip that the boys and their father took led to an unfortunate incident, Father made the boys fish until they had re-compensated whatever loss they had made Mr. Duvitch suffer. Father's act of making the boys replace the dead/ murdered fishes best supports the theme of stereotypical behavior.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
