Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Li-Mei can practice happiness strategies, such as trying to be optimistic and showing gratitude (for example, focusing on the good things about where she is living, rather than thinking about the mansion she would have if only she were a billionaire). Another simple but effective approach to increasing kindnessas well as happinessis to count her acts of kindness, keeping track of the kind things she does for a week or two. She should feel a shift toward greater happiness and perhaps find herself becoming a nicer person even in this short period of time.
