We should _ this opportunity instead of wasting time.
Correct answer: D. make use of
- A. make for
- B. make off
- C. make up
- D. make use of
Explanation
The correct answer is make use of because it means to utilize or take advantage of something beneficial, which is exactly what the sentence suggests we should do with the opportunity. The other options do not convey this meaning: make for implies movement towards something, make off suggests escaping, and make up means to invent or reconcile, none of which apply to effectively using an opportunity.
