1. «Fill in with» would not be appropriate for this sentence. «Get on with» means to have a good relationship with someone, so the correct preposition is «with.» The speaker is saying that they do not have a good relationship with Brian because they do not like his attitude.
2. «Fill in around» would be the correct preposition for this sentence. «Get around» means to move from one place to another, so the speaker is saying that it is difficult for people in wheelchairs to move around this part of town.
3. «Fill in by» would be the correct preposition for this sentence. «Get by» means to manage or survive with something, so the speaker is saying that they do not know how someone can manage to survive on such a low salary.
4. «Fill in in» would be the correct preposition for this sentence. «Get in» means to enter a vehicle, so the speaker is telling someone to enter the vehicle so they can drive them home.
