Explanation:

• A preposition is a word used to find the relationship between two things or the relationship between nouns and pronouns.

• Some prepositions are on, out, beyond, across, at, off, too, in down, up, among, etc.

1. The judge put __ on the hearing of the cases.

• The sentence means that the judge postponed the hearing of the case.

• Therefore, off will be used in the sentence.

                The judge put off the hearing of the cases.

2. I can no longer put__ with his insincerity.

• The sentence means that the speaker cannot take it anymore with someone's insincerity.
• Therefore, up will be used in the sentence.

               I can no longer put up with his insincerity.

3. The soldiers carried__ the General's orders.

• The sentence means that the soldiers perform the orders of the General.
• Therefore, carried out will be used.

              The soldiers carried out the General's orders.

4.  He carried__ his father's business.

• Carry on means continuing an activity or task.

• On is the correct preposition used to form the sentence.

              He carried on his father's business.

5. Some seats are set__ for the handicapped.

• Set up means a set of equipment needed for a particular activity or purpose.
• Therefore, set-up will be used in the sentence.

           Some seats are set up for the handicapped.

6. He has set____ for Mumbai last night.

• Set out means that the person has begun a journey.
• Therefore, set out will be used.

                          He has set out for Mumbai last night.

7. The doctors told him that he was living ____ borrowed time.

• Here "living on borrowed time" is an idiom that means: to continue to live past the time one was expected to die and be likely to die soon.

          The doctors told him that he was living on borrowed time.

8. We just cannot continue to live__ our means.

• To live beyond your means: If someone is living beyond their means, they are spending more money than they can afford to.

           We just cannot continue to live beyond our means.

9. This is the message that we want to get across to the public.

• The correct preposition is "get across".

• Get across is an intransitive verb and it means to make something clear to someone.

• To convince a person or public to a certain level also means the same.

  This is the message that we want to get across to the public.

10. He was lucky to get__ with a small fine.

• Get away means to escape.
• Therefore, get away will be used in the sentence.

          He was lucky to get away with a small fine.
