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.
Answer:
1. If it rains, we won't go to the beach.
2. Ms. Smith, who lives next door, came to borrow some sugar.
3. You must be really proud of your mother, aren't you?
Explanation:
1. The use of the comma is obligatory after introductory clauses or phrases. All the markers for the introductory clauses are always followed by a comma (if, since, while, after, because, etc.).
2. The use of the comma to offset a clause in the middle of a complete sentence is mandatory, as those clauses provide additional information to the complete sentence.
3. The use of comma to offset a clause at the end of a sentence is mandatory, in order to separate contrasting elements or to denote a pause during the speech.
C. the author's choice of words
you can tell the point of view by the words used, like "I, me, my" would be first person, "they, them" would be third, etc.
