Correct Answer: at the
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
In the original sentence, the preposition "at" is used incorrectly. The appropriate preposition to convey the intended meaning is "in ". This correction is necessary because, when expressing the notion of achieving success over an extended period, the preposition "in" is more fitting.
The phrase in the long run is idiomatic and commonly used to denote success or progress over time.
So, the correct sentence would be: "I'm sure to succeed in the long run. "
