Do you think before you speak? Do you spell it out in a text message, think “is that even right,” backspace, then say something completely different? Or do you just blaze ahead and hope for the best? Well, one way or another, there’s a correct answer and an incorrect answer. Do you know which is which, though? You should make do with your skills right now because there’s no cheating on this quiz! Wait. Or is it “make due.” IS IT DO OR DUE?!
Believe it or not, this quiz will be harder than you think… because you don’t really know if it’s “make due” or “make do” do you? Okay, now mop your brain up off the floor and get your head in the game. Now’s the time to channel your (personal or inner) high school English teacher and think about rules, grammar, and logic. Best of luck, Miriam Webster!
