    He has to ___ the housework before he can go.

    • Do

    • Make

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Why does he always ___ a promise and then break it?

    • Do

    • Make

    Correct Answer
    A. Make
    Explanation
    The word "make" is the correct answer because it is commonly used when referring to promises. When someone "makes" a promise, it implies that they are creating or giving their word to do something. In this context, it suggests that the person consistently creates promises but fails to follow through or breaks them. The word "do" does not fit as well in this sentence because it does not convey the same sense of creating or giving a promise.
