Question

Which of the option(s) means the same as the given sentence?
He loves creating stories for his child.

• A. He loves making out stories for his child.
• B. He loves making over stories for his child.
• C. He loves making up stories for his child.
• D. He loves making of with stories for his child.

Answer 1

The correct option is C He loves making up stories for his child.

The given sentence means that the subject loves forming or composing stories for his child. In the answer, the subject(He) and the object(stories) remains the same. Thus, the rest of the phrase must mean 'form or compose'.

Option A is incorrect. Here 'making out' means 'identifying a part of a whole'. Since the subject is not identifying stories but he is composing them, option A is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect. Here 'making over' means 'changing by making new'. Since the subject is not changing stories but composing them, option B is incorrect.

Option C is correct. Here 'making up' means 'forming or composing'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect. 'making of' is not a real phrasal verb in the English language. Thus, the sentence as a whole makes no sense and is not the correct answer.
