make a living: This fixed collocation means "to earn enough money to support oneself" and always requires the indefinite article "a".
out of the question: This idiom means something is "impossible" or "not allowed," and it always takes the definite article "the".
take offense: This phrase means "to feel insulted" and acts as an uncountable concept here, taking zero article.
