b. He was very ____ at making up excuses for his lateness.

The correct answer is Option C (adapt, adept).

Key Points:
• Adapt (verb): To adjust or modify oneself to new conditions, environments, or ideas (जुळवून घेणे / परिस्थितीशी जुळणे).
• Adept (adjective): Very skilled, proficient, or expert at something (निपुण / कुशल / प्रवीण).
• Adopt (verb): To legally take another's child as one's own, or choose to follow an approach (दत्तक घेणे / स्वीकारणे).
• In sentence (a): 'he can't ____ to the idea...' requires a verb meaning 'to adjust', which is 'adapt'.
• In sentence (b): 'He was very ____ at making up excuses...' requires an adjective indicating skill ('adept at' is a standard collocation).
• Thus, the proper sequence is 'adapt, adept' (Option 3).
• Key Takeaway: 'Adapt' is a verb meaning to adjust; 'Adept' is an adjective meaning skilled or proficient.
