The company has done away for unnecessary paperwork by going completely digital.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Done away with

The sentence uses a phrasal verb whose correct particle we must identify.

The intended meaning is that the company has abolished or got rid of unnecessary paperwork.

The standard phrasal verb for 'to get rid of' or 'to abolish' is 'do away with', so the correct form is 'done away with'.

Thus the sentence should read: 'The company has done away with unnecessary paperwork by going completely digital.'

The original 'done away for' uses the wrong preposition 'for' and is not a valid phrasal verb.

'Done off' is not an established phrasal verb meaning to abolish, so it does not fit.

'Done in for' is likewise not standard English in this sense, and 'No substitution' cannot apply because the original is wrong.

Hence, the correct answer is Done away with.
