Both gaps need fixed verb + noun collocations. In the first sentence the correct collocation is «make an exception»; «do an exception» is not used in English. In the second sentence the correct collocation is «do someone a favour»; «make a favour» is incorrect. So the pair is «make – do». The pairs «do – make», «make – make» and «do – do» each contain at least one impossible collocation.
