Prepositions
Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me if the alternative prepostions are correct? If not, would you please tell me why?
The atmosphere (1) at / in the Dungeon is really scary – nothing for the faint-hearted. While you are walking (2) around / in the Dungeon, watch out for creepy creatures - the Dungeon employs actors to give its visitors the fright of their lives. The actors, dressed (3) as / in monsters, ghosts or executers, are hiding in the dark corners of the Dungeon.
Have you ever eaten a pizza with fingers and eyeballs on it? Well, if you fancy that kind of food, you will love the meals (4) at / in / of the Dungeon restaurant.
Thank you in advance.
