First, let's recall Diener’s findings on wealth and happiness across nations: poorer countries tend to report lower life satisfaction, while wealthier countries tend to report higher life satisfaction, though with some variation.
Option 1: 'Ethiopia, United States, Mexico' would place the United States ahead of Mexico in happiness, which contradicts the typical ranking where Mexico is generally less happy than the United States in cross-country comparisons, making this option unlikely.
Option 2: 'Ethiopia, Mexico, United States' aligns with the expected pattern: Ethiopia is among the least happy, Mexico sits in an intermediate range, and the United States tends to be toward the higher end of life satisfaction among these three, consistent with the wealth–happiness gradient.
Option 3: 'Mexico, United States, Ethiopia' starts with Mexico being less happy than the United States, which would place Ethiopia at the very end; however, Ethiopia is typically perceived as less happy than both Mexico and the United States, so this order is inconsistent with Diener’s observed pattern.
Option 4: 'United States, Mexico, Ethiopia' places the United States as the least happy among the three, which directly contradicts the general finding that wealthier nations report higher life satisfaction, making this option clearly incorrect.
In summary, the core idea is that happiness tends to increase with wealth across countries, placing Ethiopia (the least wealthy of the trio) lowest, followed by Mexico, with the United States highest among the three. Therefore, option 2 best matches the established pattern and the cross-country data observed in Diener’s research.
