which aspect of the definition of happiness gives the impression that it is a long - term state rather than a brief mood that we experience from time to time?
○ a sense of wonder
○ a feeling that ones life has meaning and value
○ feelings of joy
○ a state of contentment

Explanation:

First Question (Eustress Example)

Eustress is positive stress from a challenging, rewarding event. Divorce, car accident recovery, and job loss are distress (negative stress). Buying a new home is a positive, challenging life event, so it’s eustress.

• "A sense of wonder" is a transient feeling.
• "Feelings of joy" are brief moods.
• "A state of contentment" can be long - term but "a feeling that one’s life has meaning and value" reflects a deep, enduring perspective on life, implying a long - term state rather than a fleeting mood.

Answer:

C. buying a new home
