Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He is envious ________ his brother's success, and this makes him a sullen person.

• A. of
• B. from
• C. to
• D. by

Answer 1

The correct option is A of

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.

The correct answer is A)of as it indicates belongingness.

'From', 'to' and 'by' cannot be used here as they indicate a source, a direction, and the use of an agent respectively.

He is envious of his brother's success, and this makes him a sullen person.
