Correct Answer: be over and done with


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

Explanation : In the context of the sentence, "wanted to finish" implies a desire to complete or conclude the case. Similarly, the phrase "be over and done with" expresses the idea of bringing something to completion or finishing it. Both convey a sense of completion or finality, making "be over and done with" an appropriate synonym for "wanted to finish" in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is, be over and done with.
