8. Read the first part of an article. Choose the correct preposition.

In my local corner shop a few weeks ago, I mentioned having an unwanted TV to the owner, Rizza. His normally
bored face lit up. Within ten minutes we were back at my flat, apologising 1to / for / about my wife 2of / for / with
the noise — it was late — as we dragged an ancient TV out of the loft.

"It really is quite old," I said. But Rizza insisted 3of / to / on taking it, saying it was perfect for the shop. I assumed
he meant for entertainment during quiet periods.

A few days later, I was in Rizza's shop again and I spotted our old TV. On the screen I saw a picture of myself.

"Security cameras," Rizza announced, "to catch shoplifters." I look around the shop. It's a tiny place. Only a magician
could succeed 4after / in / for taking anything without being seen.

"Great!" I say.

Rizza's decision to install closed-circuit television (CCTV) is not unusual. The number of CCTV cameras throughout
the UK has been estimated as high as four million. However, recent research, based 5on / of / in the number of
cameras in an average town, thinks the number is closer to two million. You don't need to apply 6with / to / of
anyone 7to / from / for permission to install a CCTV camera. So, they are everywhere: from busy shopping centres
to the quietest corners of public parks.

I passed my local shop again the next week. Rizza was repairing the glass door with his son. Neither of them looked
very happy. "Thieves broke in last night," he explained. "Oh, no!" I replied. "Have you watched the CCTV yet.

"There are no CCTV pictures," he said unhappily, pointing to his son. "He turned the camera off when he left the
shop last night!"
