On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?”The average result is the countrys scorefrom Norways 7.54 to the Central African Republics 2.69. But the report also tries to explain why one country is happier than another. It looks at reasons including economic strength, social support, freedom of choice, and generosity.This years report also has a text titled “restoring American happiness”, which examines why happiness levels in the United States are falling, despite continually-increasing economic improvement. “The United States can and should raise happiness by addressing Americas social problems-rising inequality and distrust-rather than focusing mainly on economic growth,” the authors said.Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which published the report, said President Donald Trumps policies were likely to make things worse.12Which of the following shows the correct order of happiness level?A.
