Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires knowledge concerning phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs consist of a verb and, usually, a preposition or an adverb. The combination of elements changes the verb's original meaning - think of the difference between "to look", "to look after", and "to look for", for instance.

To complete the sentences, we must take the context into consideration as well.

1. to take after someone - to resemble someone, either in appearance or personality traits.

2. to get over a disease - to recover from that disease.

3. to put out fire - to extinguish that fire.

4. to turn down a job offer - to refuse or reject that job offer.

5. to break up for holidays - to stop classes and start holidays.
