Thanks Ria and James,
Is there someone who can make the correction on the web site?
Getting accurate answers is crucial for those of us learning at a
distance. This wrong answer was very confusing to me and caused
me to use ablative in similar sentences since if it was ablative in
14 it would logically be ablative in a similar sentence like the one
I pointed to in my e-mail.

Kalamas, when you yourselves know: 'These things are good; these things are
not blamable; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed,
these things lead to benefit and happiness,' enter on and abide in them. AN
