Question
And why did the police suspect you? It does not make any to me
- A. truth
- B. reason
- C. point
- D. sense (Correct answer)
Correct Answer
Option D — sense
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is sense.
Key Points
- The fixed idiom is "it does not make any sense", meaning something is not understandable or logical.
- Make sense is a set collocation; *make truth*, *make reason* and *make point* are not idiomatic English in this frame.
- Note that *make a point* does exist, but means "to assert something deliberately", which does not fit the context.
Additional Information
- Other common make collocations: *make a decision, make an effort, make progress, make arrangements, make a mistake, make room*.
- Contrast with do, which takes a different set: *do homework, do a favour, do business, do the dishes, do research*.
- The make/do split is a frequent source of error and is best learned as fixed pairs rather than by rule.
