It is right to make a decision when you feel the need to defend something you believe in, or when you need to change a situation. This must be done taking into account respect and calm, so that the positioning is effective. In this case, before taking a position it is necessary to analyze the whole situation, promoting the understanding of the points of view until it is necessary to choose one. This should not be done in a hurry and based on emotions, but based on reason.
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.
