Correct Answer is (A) [
The correct preposition for the sentence “I am envious…” is (A) of.
Here’s why:
- Of indicates the object of your envy, the thing or person you wish you had what they have.
- In doesn’t typically express envy. It might be used for concepts like “in trouble” or “in love.”
- About is more general and doesn’t pinpoint the specific cause of your envy.
- On doesn’t commonly connect with envy. It might be used for emotions like “on edge” or “on fire.”
Therefore, “I am envious of them” accurately conveys that you feel envy towards them.
