Choose the correct alternative from the options to fill in the gap :

'To make headway' is to

  • A.make little progress
  • B.progress towards collision
  • C.proceed to travel
  • D.make progress

Answer: D

'To make headway' is to make progress.

The phrase comes from sailing, where headway is a ship's forward movement through the water. Figuratively, to make headway is to move forward or progress, especially against difficulties: The talks are finally making headway.

It does not mean making little progress, which is nearly the opposite, nor heading for a collision, nor simply setting out to travel.
