• B. reason
• C. point

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

sense

Let's examine the sentence: "Why did the police suspect you? It just does not make any ________ to me." There are two sentences, the first being the question and the next the response to it. Both are being spoken by the same person. This is clear by the use of pronoun "you" pointing to the listener in the first sentence and the pronoun "me" pointing to the speaker in the second sentence. The question shows that the speaker does not know the reason behind police suspecting the listener. So, the speaker does not know the truth or reason. So, Option A and Option B cannot be used in the blank. Option C cannot be used as "point" is used for some kind of argument. Here, the speaker is not stating or countering any argument. Hence, Option D is the right answer as "sense" indicates meaning. Also, "make sense" is an idiom meaning "something that is logical enough to be believable." So, when the sentence uses "makes sense" with "not," its meaning becomes clear with respect to the question. Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
