Put in the missing prepositions.

I looked … the apartment where I had spent most … my life. The window was open and sounds … the street mixed … the talk show … the radio that my mother always kept … It seemed that she had even turned the volume … to get his mind … the fact that I was leaving. She sat … her favorite chair, the one I had had to fix … least twice a year … as long as I remember. ‘Who would fix it now?’ I wondered absently.

The doorbell rang and my sister entered … waiting … someone to let her …

‘You sure picked a good day … going south,’ she yelled … her shoulder … me as she put the sack … groceries she was carrying … the table. ‘Arizona couldn’t be any hotter than New York today.’

Nobody replied. Thee heat and the occasion had made us quiet. Eleanor continued her monologue. ‘Where is Sara? When is she coming? She should be here … now. Did she talk … you this morning, Mama?’

The direct question forced Mama to look … my sister. … first she just nodded her head, but then added, ’She said she’d be here … now.’
