1. I must ___ my homework before I go to bed.

Explanation

The correct answer is "do". In this sentence, "do" is the appropriate verb to use because it is commonly used when referring to completing or finishing a task or assignment. In this case, the speaker is talking about completing their homework before going to bed. The verb "make" would not be suitable in this context as it implies creating or constructing something rather than completing a task.
