Hi, here's your answer.
Ethanol undergoes intermolecular H-bonding due to the presence of -OH group, resulting in the association of molecules. Extra energy is required to break these hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, methoxymethane does not undergo H-bonding. Hence, the boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of methoxymethane.

Hey !!
Ethanol undergoes intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to presence of a hydrogen attached to electronegative oxygen atom and hence exists as associated molecules. On the other hand, methoxymethane does not form hydrogen bonds.
Good luck !!
