Answers:



1: d) makes us

If you make someone to do something, you say ”you have to do it”; you give them no choice.



2: d) allows

If you allow someone to do something, you give permission - it is followed by the infinitive: allow someone to do something.



3: a) do

The verb 'make' is unusual as it is followed by 'do' without the infinitive: make someone do something.



4: a) go

'Let someone do something' is the correct sentence pattern.



5: b) to wear

'Make someone do something' is correct, but here the passive voice is 'be made to do something', using the infinitive.



6: b) to take

'Allow someone to do something' is the correct sentence pattern.
