Concept Introduction:-

Adpositions, a class of the words which consists of prepositions and postpositions, are used to convey spatial or temporal links or denote different semantic responsibilities.

Explanation:-

We have been given fill in the blanks

We need to find with suitable preposition

1. She spoke to me on Telephone.

It is because the preposition 'on' indicates that something is already in the position. 'Onto' indicates a movement from one place onto to surface of some type. The book is on the table. But Pete took the book out of his backpack and put it onto the table

$2$. I shall wait for you in dark.

To refer to one point in time, use the prepositions "in," "at," and "on." Use "in" with parts of the day (not specific times), months, years, and seasons. He reads in the evening. The weather is cold in December.

$3$. The public are cautioned about Pickpockets.

About can be used in the following ways: as a preposition (followed by a noun): He told me about your problem. as an adverb (without a following noun): Stop rushing about. after the verb 'to be'.

$4$. Napolean had a genius for Military tactics.

A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Some examples of prepositions are words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to."

$5$. Shina burst into Tears.

$6$. She battled her way into the crowd.

When deciding which is right for your sentence, remember that into is a preposition that shows what something is within or inside. As separate words, in and to sometimes simply wind up next to each other.

$7$. abstain from junk food.

We use from to refer to the place where someone or something starts or originates: Bernie comes from Manchester. We get our vegetables from the farm shop. They're really fresh.

$8$. He was under Pressure to complete the work.

Under is a preposition. When we use under as a preposition, it is similar to below. We use under to talk about something that is below or lower than something else: The cat is under the table.

Final Answer:-

The correct answers are,

1. She spoke to me on Telephone.

$2$. I shall wait for you in dark.

$3$. The public are cautioned about Pickpockets.

$4$. Napolean had a genius for Military tactics.

$5$. Shina burst into Tears.

$6$. She battled her way into the crowd.

$7$. abstain from junk food.
