Answer 1

The correct choice is B) Your brilliant excuses almost make up for your tardiness.

Here's the reasoning:

• "Excuses" is plural, so it should agree with the plural verb "make."
• Option A uses "makes," which is incorrect because "excuses" (plural) should use "make."
• Option C uses "makes," which is also incorrect for the same reason.
• Option D uses "has made up," which is not appropriate in this context as it changes the tense incorrectly.

Therefore, B is the only grammatically correct option.
