Solution:

Envy requires two parties, like you and that neighbor, when you want her new car and you wish you were the one riding around with the top down. You feel envy when you want something someone else has.

Jealousy is that unpleasant emotion you feel when you think someone’s trying to take what’s yours. You can feel envy about something you don't have but want, but you feel jealousy over something you already have but are afraid of losing.

Decent-socially acceptable.Decent can also mean good but not excellent.

Descent -an act of moving downwards, dropping, or falling; the origin or background of a person in terms of family or nationality.

Contemptible- deserving contempt; despicable.

Both words turn contempt into an adjective. Contempt is a noun that describes the feeling that someone is beneath you or the state of being despised.The -ible ending means "able to." Contemptible, then, means "able to be scorned, worthy of contempt." It refers to the person or thing the contempt is aimed at.The –ous ending means "full of," so contemptuous means "full of contempt, showing scorn." It refers to the person or thing showing the scorn, like that contemptuous glare you gave that mean kid who dumped your sister.

Lay is a transitive verb, meaning it needs to transport something (i.e. a direct object). When you lay the blanket down, "blanket" is the direct object. Lay is also the past tense of lie (to recline). That's not confusing at all! Today you lie on the bed. Yesterday, you lay on the itchy couch.
