My mistakes in writing are illustrious.
Dina has always been one of the seniors who is illustrious for her intelligence.
Azim, your grammar is correct when you write “My mistakes in writing are illustrious.” However, the sentence really doesn’t make sense. Please review the definition of the word “Illustrious.” Good try.
Good Nia, however it would sound more natural to say, “Dina has always been one of the illustrious seniors because of her intelligence.”
