ExpertsGlobal5 KarishmaB - Pls review my analysis of this SC question and advise whether it's correct or not.
Option A is correct as comparison is correct and we have right verb i.e. DO and not ARE.
Comparison is between people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than people living in big cities consider themselves to be happy.
Option B & C are wrong as not any happier is not better than no happier.
Option D is wrong as we have are in the sentence. Meaning of the sentence with are - people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than people who are living are happy. Here comparison is wrong. People who are not happy vs People who are happy.
Thank you!

The phrases "no happier" and "not any happier" are similar in meaning but differ in their emphasis and usage.
"No happier" emphasizes the absence of happiness or the lack of an increase in happiness compared to a previous state or expectation. It suggests that there is no additional level of happiness beyond what is currently experienced. For example:
"I am no happier now than I was before."
"Despite winning the award, she felt no happier."
"Not any happier" also indicates the absence of an increase in happiness, but it places emphasis on the lack of any degree of happiness. It suggests that there is no amount of happiness, however small, that is experienced. For example:
"Even with the promotion, he is not any happier."
"She tried various activities, but she did not feel any happier."
In summary, "no happier" focuses on the absence of additional happiness, while "not any happier" emphasizes the absence of any level of happiness.
