A preposition tells where one noun is in relation to another noun. It is always followed by a noun, which is the object of a preposition. One silly way to remember most prepositions is to think about a squirrel and a tree. A squirrel can go (through, on, under, in, off, to, by...) the tree. There are a few prepositions that just need to be remembered such as for.

Alexxx [7]
<span>I'd go with D here. C sort of appeals to a visual, but D appeals to their personalities more. They placed their rifles and helmets in a corner which to me, is like putting away anything that could make them fierce. They're getting rid of their main protection and such with the fact that they behaved well.</span>
