The preposition "of" helps to specify the source or reason for the envy.So, in the context of the sentence, "of" accurately conveys the idea that one should not feel jealousy or resentment towards others.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

B. Ameen is more wiser than all his brothers. — The sentence "Amin is wiser than all his brothers" is grammatically correct because it follows the standard structure for making comparison.- "Amin" is the subject of the sentence.- "is" is the linking verb connecting the subject "Amin" to the adjective "wiser," which describes Amin's comparative level of wisdom.- "than" is used to introduce the object of comparison, which is "all his brothers."Therefore, the sentence is grammatically correct and effectively compares Amin's level of wisdom to that of his brothers, indicating that Amin possesses more wisdom than all of them.

Question 19
