Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) For people who are poor or who live in poor countries, pay does correlate with job satisfaction and overall happiness. But once an individual reaches a level of comfortable living (in the United States, that occurs at about 40,000 a year, depending on the region and family size), the relationship between pay and job satisfaction virtually disappears. People who earn 80,000 are, on average, no happier with their jobs than those who earn closer to 40,000.

Answer to Question 2

E
