Which of these words is not a preposition without until for place
Fittoniya [83]
Place is not a preposition.  A preposition is a word that can be added to the end of a complete sentence which can then make a longer sentence.
E.g. of a complete sentence: The cat sat. 

You can then use the preposition "on" to extend the sentence to:
"The cat sat on the mat".
You could then use more prepositions to extend the sentence again:
The cat sat on the mat for the whole morning without getting up for a stretch until the mail man arrived.   Each word that comes directly before the preposition could also be the end of the sentence.   Place, cannot be used as a prepositon
