One response to “He is not ashamed ____ his neighbours.”

Using “of” in this context is a matter of conventional English usage. When expressing feelings like shame or pride, we typically use “of” to indicate the subject or cause. Saying “He is not ashamed of his neighbors” is idiomatic and aligns with common language patterns. It’s the more natural and accepted way to convey this idea in English.
You could also say “He is not ashamed with his neighbors,” but using “of” is more idiomatic in this context. When expressing lack of shame or embarrassment, it’s common to use “of” to indicate the source or cause of the feeling.
