Answer 7

I understand what a preposition is. A preposition is a word that describes the relationships between two nouns or pronouns.

For example:

"The duck is next to the pond." (next to the pond)
So that's why I thought #1 would be D.

Answer 8

There's no preposition at the beginning of this phrase:

<i>1.[Singing loudly in the shower] </i>
