Those aren't prepositions; they're pronouns! If you don't even know what they're called, I can understand why you're having trouble. Answers 1 through 5 require the pronoun to be in the objective case as all of them are objectives of the prepositions in the sentences. Number 6 is far too vague.

These aren't preps. but no matter. Here's a quick rule for remembering how to correctly use pronouns in speech.
When you have a sentence like:
Wait for Sita and ____[i/me], take out the other person and complete the sentence. Would you say "wait for me" or "wait for I"? Go through the list.
It makes no difference to (me)
In the case of between you and ___, rearrange the sentence, putting yourself first. Between I and you, or between me and you? Me is correct.
Good luck.

1. me
2. me
3. me
4. me
5. us
6. except (for)/ but
It's all in the syntax:
The reason you put 'me' in 1-5 is that 'me' is the accusative case of 'I', ie it is the object case; in simpler terms: you correctly say "something is happening to 'me'" (not "something is happening to 'I'").
'I' is in the nominative case, ie in the subject case: "I am doing something to something/somebody (else)".
A friendly note: the words in 1-5 are pronouns, not prepositions (pronouns replace nouns; prepositions connect nouns). The words in 6 are conjunctions (= they connect clauses).
