Correct Answer: in five minutes


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Explanation : The correct preposition to use when referring to the time it takes for something to happen is "in". "With" is not the appropriate preposition in this context. "In" is the correct preposition to indicate the time it takes for the train to arrive. "With" implies accompanying or using something, which is not suitable in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The train will arrive in five minutes .
