In the dim past, even before the Ch'in and the Han dynasties, there lived a cave cheif of southern China by the name of Wu. As was the custom in those days, Cheif Wu had taken 2 wives. Each wife in her turn had presented Wu with a baby daughter. But one of the wives sickened and died, and not too many days after that Cheif Wu took to his bed and died too. Yeh-Shen, the little orphan, grew to girlhood in her step-mothers home.

I posed the statement: Parents aren't as much a part of their kids' lives as before. In the sentence, I was indicating that I was talking about more than one child, and one life. Was my placement of the apostrophe right?

Dear friends I am an English learner I learn at home without any teacher.but sometimes I face problems I can’t solve them,like prepositions that I’m so confused about them.
I did this exercise which was about prepositions ,I used all I knew and all I could find in my books about prepositions ,but I couldn’t do it properly.

I need your English speaking friends help in correcting my mistakes.
This is my exercise:
We must put one of these prepositions into the gaps of this text. Sometimes more than one is possible.
Prepositions given are:above*across*by*against*round*on*below*onto*down*along*beside*
In*behind*off*into*up*out of*over*through*past*to*towards*at.

This is how I did this exercise:
The sun rose (at) Mary’s house. It was a beautiful day. Mary came (along) her front door and went (through)the path,(out of)the gateand (down) the street. She crossed( ? ) the road and walked(beside)the bus stop. The bus arrived and she got(on)the bus. It went (round)the corner,(into)the High Street ,(past)all the shops and(onto)the countryside .
It stopped (by)the dock pond(in)the next village,and Mary got(off) . She climbed (above) a stile and started walking(across)a big field. Suddenly she saw a huge bull running (towards)her! She raced(against)the far side of the field and squeezed(up)the hedge.
Out of breath ,she sat down( ? )the grass (over)the river. She leant back (above)a rock. The sun was warm. Mary closed her eyes and listened to the water flowing(below).
Soon she was fast asleep. When she awoke the sun had disappeared (behind)the horizon.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

What would be the correct word ( in a political situation) for creating or attempting to create public upset and discussion over a trivial matter in order to prevent them from noticing or concentrating on something bigger and/or more important ?
