manchrisbenjamin:
What about 1.in 3.during 7.on
1. in - well, money can't be hidden in the floor boards. But they can be placed under 3. during- During the night sounds odd whereas, throughout is justifying that he sat the complete night waiting to be called 7. upon is very closely attached to 'on' but here, upon suits better as we sleep on the surface of the bed..so there is a minimal difference to be maintained between the both...HOPE U UNDERSTOOD WHT I SAID
