Answer 2

Hai!! @G_Castle

To help guide you to your answer, I will state the definition of preposition, and give examples:

a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause, as in “the man on the platform,” “she arrived after dinner,” “what did you do it for ?”

With that example, which one do you believe is correct? (:

Answer 12

Okay, so maybe this will clear it up.
Prepositions show relations to other words, so...
He arrived at the train station \(\normalsize\bf\color{red}a\color{red}f\color{red}t\color{red}e\color{red}r\) the train had already left.
The boy stood \(\normalsize\bf\color{red}o\color{red}n\) the rock.
The snowman stood \(\normalsize\bf\color{red}b\color{red}y\) the pole.
