Prepositions are words that link nouns together. The answer is D because "about" links "a book" and "the patriot". About is only one preposition though. Here is a list of the most common prepositions: "about", above," "across," "against," "along," "around," "at," "before," "behind," "below," "beneath," "beside," "between," "beyond," "but," "by," "despite," "down," "during," "except," "for," "from," "in," "inside," "into," "like," "near," "of," "off," "on," "onto," "out," "outside," "over," "past," "since," "through," "throughout," "till," "to," "toward," "under," until," "up," "upon," "with," "without."
