Prepositional is a word that expresses a relationship between a noun/pronoun and another word in a sentence. Easier way to put it would be like saying you take a object or noun (ex: home) and also make up a location (ex: in), basically noun relation to a verb.
Example: <u>In my house</u>, you'll find my dog. House relates to where the dog is.
When reading this excerpt I understood authors intentions, I bet, in full measure. As he mentioned - the war is murder, thousands of people fighting for particular idea and nothing can't stop them, neither moral issues nor ethical rules. All these people are guilties of a global crime and author at any price will not support such events. Unlikely that all of these people will be punished for their mistakes or sins they have made, but if we will talk about regular crime, such as author described in the text - this actions must be sentenced to justice.
So I choose this option :
<span>B.Paine says that war is terrible, and ordinarily nothing could have convinced him to support it. However, he also believes that if a person or group commits severe crimes against him, that party should be punished, no matter who they are.</span>
<span>The
research team included data from neighboring towns in order
to see if the water pollution was an isolated incident or more
widespread than previously thought. They did not have this data before because the towns had never shared pollution data with each
other until now.
