Answer 2

Answer:

1) hear

2) up

3) me to give

4) in

5) with

6) right

7) away

8) by

The simple way of understanding these are as follows: He whispered and I could not hear.

In no. 2, also there is a preposition that is used as up, and in the 3rd part, there is a reference for me to give and in the fourth sentence again, in is a preposition meaning how the number of voters has been reduced to a large number as far as the overall voting is concerned.
