Вопрос про Английский (британский вариант)
Hello! Could you please answer my question?
I'd like to know ahout the usage of "comprise."
I find it very confusing...
1, Great Britain comprises England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.
2, Great Britain is comprised of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.
3, Great Britain comprises of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.
4, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales comprise Great Britain.
My English dictionary says that only No.3 of the sentences above is incorrect.
Is it correct?
Thank you in advance !

I found this online..... Although comprised of is an established standard for "being composed or constituted of," it is often liable to criticism and scrutiny. The correct version put forward by grammar guides is to used "composed of" or "comprises" such as "the cake is composed of flour and eggs" or "comprises flour and eggs."
