Question

Read the sentence to find out possible substitution for for the underlined part:
Her learning makes up towards her want of beauty.

• A. For
• B. To
• C. Against
• D. No improvement

Answer 1

The correct option is A For

Let’s examine the sentence: “Her learning makes up towards her want of beauty.” The phrasal verb used in English is “makes up for” and not “makes up towards.” The phrasal verb “makes up for” means “compensates for.” Here, the preposition “towards” would be replaced by “for” to correct the phrasal verb used in the sentence. Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
