  2. B. reason
  3. C. point
  4. 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.
