Straightaway doesn't mean 'at length.'
Explanation:
- The phrase 'in the long run' means - over or after a long period of time.
- In the given options, 'eventually' means - in the end, especially after a long delay.
- The phrase ' at the end' literally the other term for 'eventually.'
- All these three terms define the long term duration.
- The term 'straightway' means immediately, which is the exact opposite of 'at length.'
- The example of using 'straightaway' in the sentence, "We don't have to go straight away, do we?"
- Therefore, the word 'straightaway' does not correspond to the meaning 'at length.'
