Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
No longer means not anymore. Any longer should be replaced with no longer as "no longer" is more formal and used in writing, whereas "any longer" is used at the end of a sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Across the world, discussions on curing cancer are no longer just wishful thinking.
