Terry was jealous ____Tom's success.

• A. of
• B. on

Answer 1

The correct option is A of

Option A is the correct answer because 'of' is used to indicate reference. It thus shows the cause or reason for Terry's jealousy towards Tom.

Options B, C and D are incorrect because 'on' is used to express a surface of something or place or location, 'by' is used to indicate proximity or agency and 'at' is used to point out a specific time or a specific place.
