Explanation:

- Let's break down the sentence: "when the woman turned round, it wasn’t Sandra (4)______ all!"

- The sentence implies that the woman was not Sandra at all.

- Here's the analysis of the options:

- "by": Usually indicates proximity, not appropriate here.

- "at": Suggests a point of time or location and is not a good fit for indicating negation.

- "of": Implies belonging or relating, doesn't convey the intended meaning here.

- "with": Can indicate association or connection but isn't suitable in this context.

The correct choice should indicate absence or negation. The most fitting word to convey that Sandra was not the woman is "at all," which is a phrase used to emphasize negation. So, the correct option is:

- "at": Hence, Sandra was not the woman at all.
