Which sentence uses a prepositional phrase correctly?

When she had time, Cassie assisted with feeding and caring for the cats at the vet's office.
Many caged cats just wanted Cassie to hold them closely and pet them in really bad shape.
Beyond the really sick cats, some of the cats wanted to play more than other, sick ones.
Besides needing food and water, Cassie was not allowed to play or handle brand-new kittens.

The correct answer is the first sentence.

The second, third, and fourth sentences are not only incorrect, but also somewhat nonsensical. Even if they do make some sense, they are confusing and incoherent, sometimes even grammatically incorrect.
