Answer:

(1) An author doing research for a book asked thousands of Americans what made them happy.

Explanation:

It's tempting to say that the main idea is the conclusion of the paragraph, which is stated in sentence (5). However, the main focus of the paragraph is more on the research on what makes American happy, which is detailed by the responses of the research subjects, as well as the conclusion of the research study. If (5) was the main focus, there would be more details about why most of  the things that make you happy are simple and free or inexpensive or what the general research about this topic has been, instead of just one study in particular.

What organizational strategy could you use if you're writing about concepts totally new to a reader?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

B). Definition

Explanation:

Organizational strategy is defined as the order or sequence in which the author explains a particular process or presents a series of episodes/occurrences. It primarily functions to comprehend readers' understanding of the concept.

As per the question, the author must employ 'definition' as the organizational strategy if the concepts are new to the reader as it will help in introducing the meaning of the word to them and then moving on to the terms or details associated with it as it will allow them to understand it effectively and efficiently. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
