Explanation:

• Preposition refers to a word or phrase that is used before a noun or a pronoun to refer to a place, time, direction, etc.

• In the first and fourth sentences, we used 'in' as a preposition to refer to a place. Like in the first sentence 'in' is used to refer to life. Whereas in the fourth sentence 'in' is used to refer to eyes.
• In the second sentence 'since' is used as a preposition to refer to the time that is infancy.
• In the third sentence 'by' is used as a preposition to refer to the means of transport which is the bus.
• In the fifth sentence 'about' is used as a preposition to refer to a subject matter that is some matter.
• In the sixth sentence 'with' is used as a preposition used as a function word to indicate the object of attention, behavior, or feeling which is 'patience' here.
• At last, we may conclude that preposition is of great significance in the English language because they act as vital markers to the structure of a sentence, they also mark relationships between persons, locations, and objects.
