The correct preposition to indicate the general time period of night is 'at'. The idiomatic expression is 'at night' (without 'the'). 'On the night' is used when referring to a specific night or event (e.g., 'on the night of the concert'), and 'in the night' refers to something happening during the night. The phrase 'at the night' is not idiomatic. Therefore, the best choice among the options for the sentence '_____ the night mysterious creatures prowl.' is 'at', making the sentence 'At night mysterious creatures prowl.'

The correct preposition to complete the phrase 'Sana is not known _____ me' is 'to'. The phrase 'known to someone' is the standard English expression indicating familiarity or recognition by that person.

The idiomatic expression is "jest at" or more commonly "in jest." The phrase "in jest" means something said humorously or without serious intent.
