That may be true, but sự hạnh phúc is suggested by the hints, which isn't helpful at all.
I note that this course does not review and correct errors. Some translations in english are awkward like the use of word gift but the same sentence with gift is repeated over and over again. If you ever meet someone on the street saying I gift you your lunch then the person is ether studying with this course or an instructor here.A translation in an earlier exercise of papers in Vietnamese into newspapers had been brought quite some time back but nothing has been done.

I wrote both sự hạnh phúc and sự thành công, and was counted wrong. I see below Huy_Ngo says sự hành phúc sounds unnatural and is never used. If so, it should be removed from drop-down hints for happiness. I know sự thành công is used often in this course, so that should be accepted, I think.

The phrase should not need "của". Atleast if you check the definition for "chìa khóa" and it's examples. There is no "của" in the phrase "chìa khoá thành công".
Is anyone going to address the problems raised about this particular lesson? Why is using sự wrong when the drop down hints promote it? Why is của used? Why no classified for "the key"? Are there grammar rules in play that we are not being properly taught? (Such as someone below saying hạnh phúc is never used with sự) It's obvious this is not a literal translation - which would be something like '(being) happy is (the) key of succeeding' I asked before and I'll ask again - is this a well known Vietnamese proverb?
