Hi, I've recently cross across some exercises on preposition which confused me a lot, would appreciate any help.
1. She spoke _____ (in,with) broken sentences.
Both looks passable for me but the key is "in" somehow.
2. _____ (Through, Out of) his genius, Anderson changed every early experience into a fairy tale.
"Out of" means "because of" so I chose this naturally, but the key is the other way around. Any idea please.
3. _____ (For, to) me, happiness means continuously creating values for others ______ (by, through) my own honest, productive work.
Key: To, through; I've no idea what the differences are between these words in this context. Some help please.
4. _____(For, to) the donor's parents, seeing the person who had gained life _____ (from, through) the gift of their son's liver and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering.
Key: For, through; "For" and "To" now totally confuse me, also I might think both "from" and "through" work in the second blank however only "through" is the right answer.
