Which word completes the phrase: 'take ___ after their first real concert' ?

• A. Off
• B. On
• C. Over
• D. Up

Answer: (A)

Phrasal verbs with take have different meanings, and here the idea is about rising in popularity. Take off is the natural idiom to describe something (like a band’s career) that suddenly becomes very successful after a key moment. So the sentence means their career began to soar after their first real concert. The other options don’t fit the sense: take on means to accept or undertake something; take over means to assume control; take up usually means to start doing something new, not to become famous. So the missing word is off.
