Correct Answer: make up


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Make up is the correct phrasal verb, which means to compensate for something deficient, and is the correct phrasal verb to convey the intended meaning that the speaker should compensate for the deficiency in English.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Make out means to manage with some difficulty to see or hear someone or something.
  • Make after means to pursue someone.
  • Make beyond is not a standard phrasal verb in the English language.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I must make up my deficiency in English."
