Answer:

The word "envious" means full of envy.

Explanation:

A suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to change it into a new word by altering its meaning. The suffix -ous forms adjectives that have the general sense of possessing a quality, of being full of such quality. For instance: joy - joyous.

The suffix -ous and its variant -ious have often been used to anglicize Latin adjectives that have terminations which cannot be adapted to English. For instance: contiguous; atrocious.

Based on that knowledge, the adjective "envious" means "full of envy", "jealous".

The correct answer is sentence (5).


A sentence fragment means that it is only a part of a sentence; it is not complete. Given that it is incomplete, the fragment, aka subordinate/dependent sentence, has to be part of a larger, independent sentence, in order to make any sense. So if you combined sentence (5) with another one, it wouldn't be a fragment anymore.
