This is an incorrect choice. "I make it a point" is a phrase that must be followed by a verb, which is missing from this sentence. The correct form is "I make it a point to (do something)". For example, this sentence could be corrected to read "I will make it a point to discuss this idea at length during the next meeting."
This is a correct choice. "To make it a point (to do something)" means "to make sure or be certain" of doing it. It can also indicate "making an effort (to do something)". And it's a good idea to wash your hair at least once a week! In this meeting, Bruno says that he "makes it a point" to introduce himself to all shareholders, meaning that he makes an effort or tries to meet each one of his shareholders individually. This is why Bruno is surprised he hasn't met Ira Canker before today's meeting.
This is an incorrect choice. Careful - "to make a point" does not mean to catch up or speak with someone!
This is a correct choice. "To make it a point (to do something)" means "to make sure or be certain" of doing it. It can also indicate "making an effort (to do something)".
