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."
