Police found Trotter circling Nelson's Column.
This means that Trotter was going Nelson's Column.
This means that Trotter was going Nelson's Column.
Police found Trotter circling Nelson's Column.
This means that Trotter was going around Nelson's Column.
This means that Trotter was going around Nelson's Column.
around: This is the correct answer. The verb "to circle" indicates "going around" or "turning in circles". For example: a plane might circle before finally landing.
over: To go "over" something indicates that one is traveling above or on top of it. For example: planes fly over the clouds. In this case Trotter was circling the column which means that he was traveling round and round it. Note that in the figurative sense, "to go over" something means to "review" or "look over" it.
under: To travel "under" something is to travel "below" or "beneath" it. Moira states that Trotter is "circling around" the column, which indicates that he is making circles around it.
through: As a preposition of place, "through" indicates movement in and out of a location, or entering one side and exiting out the other. One can go through a tunnel or through a doorway. Note that this is only one of the many uses of the term "through". It would be physically impossible for Trotter to pass through Nelson's Column as it is made of granite. He may be a wizard, but he's not that clever!

1 under arrest: "Under arrest" is the right answer. If someone is "under arrest", the police has stopped them because they have (allegedly) been doing something illegal. In the dialogue, Hannah checks with Luna that she is not "under arrest" despite Luna's questioning! Another example: "I am placing you under arrest for the theft of the Mona Lisa."
2 supervises: "Supervises" is the term we were looking for here. To "supervise (someone)" is to watch them to make sure that everything is going well, and correct them if they make mistakes. This is what Hannah does in the Retail section of the Sales Department at Delavigne. Another example: "My new job involves supervising a team of 893 workers".
3 efficiently: "Efficiently" is the right answer. To do something "efficiently" is to do it "well", "effectively", and "without unnecessary effort". Note also the related noun "efficiency" and the adjective "efficient". Here's another example: "The team is operating more efficiently now that it has a new captain".
