Was that true or did you _________?

• A. make it up
• B. make it out
• C. make it off
• D. make it over

Answer 1

The correct option is A make it up

Option A is the correct answer because 'make it up' means to invent an explanation for something, especially in order to avoid being punished or embarrassed.

Options B, C and D are incorrect because 'make it out' means to see, hear, or understand someone or something with difficulty, 'make it off' means to leave quickly, especially after doing something wrong and 'make it over' means to transfer the possession of something to someone.
