Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties (33) _____________up about 10 percent of the population - but, frankly, it seems like society has forgotten about them.

Câu hỏi:(33)..................
- A. consist
- B. account
- C. hold
- D. make
Lời giải tham khảo:
Đáp án đúng: D
Đáp án D
Ta thấy đằng sau chỗ trống là số phần trăm nên có thể đoán là chiếm bao nhiêu phần trăm. Để diễn đạt điều này có một Phrasal verb đó là make up - chiếm. Phương án A và B không đi với giới từ up.
Hold up : vẫn giữ vững, làm trì trệ, làm tắc nghẽn → loại vì không phù hợp về nghĩa.
Consist thường đi với giới từ of: bao gồm
Account thường đi với giới từ for: chiếm
→ Chọn đáp án D
Trích bài: Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties make up about 10 percent of the population - but, frankly, it seems like society has forgotten about them.
Tạm dịch: Những người thuận tay trái là những người khác biệt. Chắc chắn rằng những người thuận tay trái chiếm 10% dân số - nhưng thẳng thắn mà nói, có vẻ như xã hội đã quên về họ.
