Mackie thinks that the theist's problem of evil can be solved if the theist
{ 1 } - says that God isn't all-powerful.
{ 2 } - says that evil doesn't exist.
{ 3 } - says that God isn't all-good.
{ 4 } - any of the above would solve the problem.
{ 5 } - none of the above -- there's no way to solve the problem.

This would solve the problem. But there are other possible solutions too.

4 is correct!

The theist's problem is that he has an inconsistent set of beliefs (that God is all-good and all-powerful and that there is evil). The theist could give up one of these beliefs; then he'd be consistent. This would "solve" the problem for him.
However, each of these solutions involves giving up a core belief of theism -- and thus would be difficult for the theist to do in a consistent way.
