One reason for Singapore’s happiness is that the government provides【D2】________, such as jobs and housing. There is almost no poverty, and Singapore has one of the lowest levels of unemployment in the world. The government creates jobs for people who are unemployed.

People may not all be happy about laws, but they are generally happy with the results—they don’ t step in litter, the public toilets work, and the streets are safe and clean.
