A preposition can also be used to show when something happens. In the sentence, "She always drinks coffee," "always" is the preposition. It tells us when she drinks coffee. Just like in the samples above, changing the preposition will change the sentence.
She seldom drinks coffee.
She never drinks coffee.

There is insufficient evidence to tell us how smallpox started. It probably first became a common disease in the land of the pharaohs. From there, it eventually spread around the worldcausing the death of millions of people. There was no information or knowledge on how to curb this fatal disease. If anyone had been infected then, no doctor would have been able to save the patient as he would be condemned to death.
It is a different situation now/today/currently/nowadays as childeren are vaccinated at a young age so that they will not/never be infected with this deadly disease.
Small pox is caused by a virus. Most of the victims are infected when they come intocontact with a person who has been infected with smallpox. When an infected person sneezes or coughs, he is likely to infect others. This is because the tiny virus particles are released into the air and anyone who inhales** them becomes infected.
About three weeks after the infection, the victim breaks out into a rash. It usually starts on the face, before spreading to the chest and legs. The majority of deaths occur during this time, but some victims die even before the rash develops/starts/appears/spreads.
A victim who survives the disease is likely to be scarred for life. However, he will be immune to another attach. In the modern world, smallpox has been eliminated and will never be the killer disease it once was.
Note: Viv had a query for question 61. inhales = breathes in, not just breathe. :)
