Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
I don't really like his being absent so much, but he does ________ the most amusing excuses.

• A. make for
• B. make up
• C. make away
• D. make out

Answer 1

The correct option is B make up

The context refers to a person giving excuses for his absence. "Make up" in option B means to compose or invent, in this case - excuses. Thus, this concurs with the context.
"To make for" is to head towards a place.
"To make away" with something is to take something or escape with something stolen.
"To make out" is to manage to understand.
Thus, option B is to correct answer.
