Explanation:
The Spanish preterite tense is used to describe actions that have already been completed.
For regular verbs, it´s formed by removing the -ar, -ir, or -er ending and adding the correct ending:
First person singular (yo):
for verbs ending in - ar: -é;
for verbs ending in -er and -ir: -í
Third person singular (él ella, usted):
for verbs ending in - ar: -ó;
for verbs ending in -er and -ir: -ió
Third person plural (nosotros/as):
for verbs ending in - ar: -amos;
for verbs ending in -er and -ir: -imos
The present progressive is used to describe an action that is happening in the present, and is formed by the present tense conjugation of estar + a present participle.

Answer: These are the correct answers:
1. por
2. por
3. para
4. para
5. para
6. por
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can also be added that in this exercise they are asking you to choose the most appropriate preposition. "Por" can be translated as by, among other meanings, and "para" can be translated as for, among other meanings as well. So, for instance, in sentence 6, the speaker is saying: "My cousin was raised BY my parents." And in sentence 3, the speaker is saying "I bought some flowers FOR Ana."
