Help with an english problem?

You may add, delete or change one or two words if necessary, but keep the sentence idea the same. Rearrange and properly punctuate the following sentence so that it begins in each specified way. The way the sentence is now, it begins with the subject (the sun).

The morning sun glared in the young boy’s eyes as he searched the horizon for sight of the sail that would bring his father safely home.

1. Begin with a preposition.

2. Begin with a gerund or any word ending in “ING”.

3. Begin with a subordinate clause.

4. Begin with an adverb.

5. Divide the sentence into separate sentences so that one of the sentences is a very short sentence.

any help is appreciated
