Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.

"Would have discovered" is appropriate when expressing a future event that is uncertain but expected. The use of "would have discovered" conveys the idea that there is an expectation or hope that doctors will discover a cure for cancer by the end of the decade.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "By the end of this decade, doctors surely would have discovered a cure for cancer."
