The biggest issue with this is that the first sentence is run-on, you should consider breaking it into smaller sentences, maybe by getting rid of the "and" after describing the mother, replacing it with a period and letting the father get a sentence of his own. Also, you could try "-on how happy the Railway family is. The story also uses detail on how nice the parents are-" something along those lines, just to break the run-on sentence?
This is minor, but at the end "creates a sense of perfection, by describing their house-" the comma before by isn't necessary, and can either be deleted, or you can rephrase like "a sense of perfection. The story does this by describing-"
I hope this helps! <span />

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.
