Fill in the blank with a suitable option:

The thief _______ all the money.

• A. made up
• B. made off with
• C. made do with
• D. made good

Answer 1

The correct option is B made off with

Phrasal verbs are formed with a verb and another element, like a preposition.

Option B: 'Made off with' is a phrasal verb that means 'to steal something'. It is relevant to the given sentence as it's about a thief who stole all the money.

Hence this option is correct.

Option A: 'Made up' means 'to wear makeup'.

Option C: 'Made do with' means 'to use what is available although it is not enough'.

Option D: 'Made good' means 'to succeed and become rich'.

These meanings are not relevant to the given sentence, hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
