Hi,
'It's not the end of the world' is a set expression and suggests: It;s not really a big problem/It's not something worth worrying about. 'The end of life' simply means 'death' and that's not what's needed in the test sentence.

Hi Mitra,
This Quote: | It's going to cost a lot of money to put right | means it will be expensive to repair/mend.
