right

Hello

May I ask about the collocation of the word "right"?
Here is a question in the exercise which requires filling the blank.
#1 It'll all ( ) right in the end.
The answer says the word is "come".
Is this a definite collocation? Or are there any words which can be used?
How about "go" and "turn"?

Would you give me some guidance?
Thank you.

Yes, it'll all come right in the end would be ok in my part of England, or even it'll all come right in the long run. It carries the implicit feeling that the situation will resolve itself, that really no intervention or action is required.
