Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. makes.

Context: The sentence is: “It (1) ___ no discriminations to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions.”
The blank should indicate a present, general truth or ongoing principle, which is best expressed in the present tense.

Meaning of the words:

  • had made – past perfect tense; refers to a completed action in the past, incorrect here.

  • make – base form; grammatically incorrect without auxiliary verb.

  • makes – present tense, singular subject ‘It’; correctly conveys a general, ongoing principle.

  • made – simple past; not suitable for a statement of principle.

Correct word: makes

Final Sentence: It makes no discriminations to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
