Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The appropriate answer is the first option because " done with " means 'to bring an end to something' and should be replaced with " done for " which means 'to be in a difficult situation that it is impossible to get out.'
" Done in " in the second option means 'extremely tired' which does not make sense. " Done on " in the third option is used with a time reference, so cannot be used to make a sensible sentence.
Therefore, the correct statement should be " I had not completed my project, so I thought I was done for when the manager asked me to hand it in. "
