Explanation:

• Prepositions are important parts of speech that are used to determine the position of a word with respect to the surroundings expressed in a sentence.

• Prepositions also act as linkers to link a verb with an object to specify its location.
• In certain cases prepositions follow verbs or precede verbs to form phrasal verbs or prepositional phrases.
• The given passage has to be filled with prepositions.
• The first sentence relates the verb 'came' to all the locations-different corners of the country . Hence the preposition of belonging to a place-from, is used.
• The second sentence links the noun country and the verb offer. Hence the prepositional phrase 'to offer' is appropriate.
• The third sentence specifies the position where he sits which is -by the window.
• 'Looked out for' is a phrasal verb that means search. Hence the preposition used is 'for'.
