Choose the correct sentence.
Correct answer: A. The thief made away with the jewelry.
- A. The thief made away with the jewelry.
- B. The thief made off the jewelry.
- C. The thief made into the jewelry.
- D. The thief made over the jewelry.
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: 'The thief made away with the jewelry.' This sentence correctly employs the phrasal verb 'made away with,' which means to escape with stolen goods. The other options are incorrect due to improper verb usage. Option B fails because 'made off' should be followed by 'with' to indicate theft. Option C incorrectly uses 'made into,' which implies transformation rather than theft. Option D misuses 'made over,' which indicates a transfer rather than stealing, making it unsuitable in this context.
