Answers:

1. She wanted to make up for her mistake by working extra hours.
2. Cindy likes to make up stories to entertain her friends.
3. The thief made off with some jewellery.
4. We don’t know what to make of this situation.
5. I couldn’t make out what Alfred was saying because he was mumbling.

How to understand the phrases:

• make up for — compensate for, исправить или компенсировать
• make up stories — invent stories, выдумывать истории
• make off with — escape with something stolen, скрыться с украденным
• make of — understand or think about, понять или думать о чём-либо
• make out — understand or hear with difficulty, разобрать с трудом

Notice the grammar: after wanted to, likes to, to and couldn’t we use make. In the past tense, as in “The thief”, we use made. Each gap contains two words.
