Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

'With' should be replaced with 'away with' to convey the intended meaning that the speaker believes it is unrealistic to expect that the situation can be made better by removing or eliminating certain individuals. The other prepositions do not go with the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct statement should be "It is wishful thinking that you can improve the situation by doing away with such people".
