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".

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A.  Although Billy has found peace internally, he is still at war in World War 2 externally.

Explanation:

Billy is at peace. Billy probably suffers from both disillusionment from the war and delusions. While the delusions may outweigh his disillusionment in terms of his mental well-being, they perhaps allow him to function, at least part of the time, in the normal working world.
