Question:
DIRECTIONS: A sentence/a part of the sentence is underlined. Four alternatives are given to the underlined part which will improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, the answer would be "No improvement".


This meeting was so long, it made me miss my flight

Options:
A) it have made me miss my flight
B) that have made me miss my flight
C) that have caused me miss my flight
D) No improvement              
Solution:

Ans: (d) No improvement    

To make somebody do something

To make + object + verb in the infinitive without to (= to cause someone do something):

This meeting was so long, it made me miss my flight. It means 'This meeting was so long, it caused me to miss my flight'.

Another example would be-What made him change his mind? It means 'What caused him to change his mind'?
