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.

Explanation:
Friar Lawrence is a character from the tragedy <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> written by William Shakespeare. He is a cleric who helps Romeo and Juliet throughout the play - he helps them meet, marries them, and wants to help them reunite after Romeo's banishment. He is the one who gives the sleeping potion to Juliet, tricking everyone into thinking that she died. He wants her to leave the tomb with him so that he can hide her in a nunnery, but she refuses to leave after realizing that Romeo is dead. After this, he runs, leaving her alone in the tomb.
Every character's actions matter, including their entrance and exit. There is no such thing as meaningless actions, especially in tragedies such as this one. Laurence is afraid of the consequences he would face if someone found out about him faking Juliet's death. He hears the authorities approaching and runs. Juliet is left alone and kills herself.
