Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given
sentence.

They made us to wait while they were checking our documents.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. made us wait.

Incorrect Phrase: "made us to wait"

What is wrong:

After the verb “made”, we do not use “to” before another verb.
It should be: make + object + base form of verb (without "to").

Correct Phrase: "made us wait"

Final Sentence: They made us wait while they were checking our documents.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
