Answer:

As we can see, we have to apply correct prepositions in these sentences.

Explanation:

Let us under the implication of these prepositions:

• For: We use for to talk about a purpose or a reason for something. Thus, it is appropriate for the first sentence.
• Against: ​Not to the advantage or favour of somebody/something. Thus, it is appropriate for the second sentence.
• Of: It is used to create more general relationships between objects and their nouns. Thus, it is appropriate for the third sentence.
• Under: It means directly below something or at lower level; less than; affected by something. Thus, it is appropriate for the fourth sentence.
• Up: 'Bottled up' is a common phrase which means 'to keep (a feeling or emotion) inside instead of expressing it'. Thus, it is appropriate for the fifth sentence.
• To: 'Do justice to' is a common phrase which express 'to treat someone or something in a way that is fair and shows their or its true qualities'. Thus, it is appropriate for the last sentence.

Hence, the correct prepositions are, 'for, against, of, under, up, to'.
