Explanation:
We need to fill in each blank with a prepositional phrase from the Word Bank that makes sense in the sentence. A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition (like *over, through, beside, around, with, under, out, for, behind, until*) and includes the object of the preposition.
Let’s go one by one:
1. *We stood ________ while we waited for our mom to unlock it.*
We’re waiting near a car — “beside the car” fits perfectly.
✔ beside the car
2. *The storm continued ________ with thunder and lightning.*
Storms happen *through the night* — that’s a common phrase.
✔ through the night
3. *The scuba diver is able to breathe and open her eyes ________.*
Scuba divers are *under the water*.
✔ under the water
4. *The movie started late, but we stayed awake ________.*
If the movie started late, you might stay awake *until the end*.
✔ until the end
5. *I looked up as the bird flew ________.*
Birds fly *over the tree* (or over something). “Over the tree” matches context.
✔ over the tree
6. *The excited dog ran in circles ________.*
Dogs run in circles *around the room* — makes sense indoors.
✔ around the room
7. *Our cat ran ________ and into the neighbor’s yard.*
To get into the neighbor’s yard, the cat likely went *out the front door*.
✔ out the front door
8. *I go to morning tutoring so I can practice my math facts ________.*
Tutoring is usually *with my teacher*.
✔ with my teacher
9. *We bought cupcakes, balloons, and party hats ________.*
These items are for a celebration — *for the birthday party* fits.
✔ for the birthday party
10. *Every day at lunch, our class eats together ________.*
Lunch is often in the cafeteria — *in the school cafeteria* is perfect.
✔ in the school cafeteria
Now double-check: All phrases used are from the Word Bank, none repeated, all fit logically.
Final Answer:
1. beside the car
2. through the night
3. under the water
4. until the end
5. over the tree
6. around the room
7. out the front door
8. with my teacher
9. for the birthday party
10. in the school cafeteria
