The preposition 'in' is used to refer to the activity of doing something. It is used to describe an activity, action, or state that is ongoing or continuous.
For example:
• The Indian magpie indulges in a long flight. (The magpie is actively and continuously engaging in a long flight.)
• The students indulged in a long discussion. (The students were actively and continuously engaging in a long discussion.)
• He indulged in a long walk. (He was actively and continuously engaging in a long walk.)
In contrast, the prepositions 'with', 'on', 'at', and 'over' are not used to describe an activity, action, or state that is ongoing or continuous.
For example:
• He went on a long walk. (He went on a long walk, but he did not actively and continuously engage in it.)
• She went with her friends. (She went with her friends, but she did not actively and continuously engage in any activity with them.)
• He was at the party. (He was at the party, but he did not actively and continuously engage in any activity at the party.)
• They watched the sky over their heads. (They watched the sky over their heads, but they did not actively and continuously engage in any activity over their heads.)
Therefore, the most appropriate preposition to use in the sentence is 'in'.
