单选题 The author believes that man's "pursuit of happiness" in America has ______.

A、 been essentially wrong from the very beginning
B、 had disappointing results thus far
C、 produced a finer, braver kind of modern man
D、 fulfilled the hope of the American rebels of 1776

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】作者在第一段明确指出，“Man is now happy by definition，but whether this is the happiness which the rebels of 1776 had in mind is a moot point”。也就是说目前的物质幸福不是理解的幸福。A，C，D均与作者的观点相悖。
