Complete step-by-step answer:

Phrases are a group of words that carry an idiomatic meaning in it. It does not have a subject and a verb. The phrases may form with a noun, verb, gerund, preposition or as an infinitive phrase.
 Here, we are asked to make meaningful sentences using the given phrases.
a)The first phrase is ‘to make way for’, which is an example of an infinitive phrase. Such phrases are formed in addition of ‘to’ with a verb. Here, ‘to’ is added to the verb ‘make.’ It means to move aside, or clear the way.
Example: “We have to make way for the cars to park”, said the officer.
b)The second phrase, in short, is commonly used to introduce us to a nutshell account on something.
Example: In short, the movie was the best of all times!
c)‘On the fringe of’ is a phrase that describes the condition of not being accepted to a particular sphere. It also means on the outer or farthest edge of something.
Example: For a long time, they lived on the fringe of the grasslands.

Note: Phrasal verbs are different from phrases as the former is a combination of a verb with an adverb or preposition or a combination of both.
